This is my first attempt at creating an applet for public use. I decided to make this applet as I could not find any ready-made applets that suits my taste. An example of the NavBar can be found on the top of the page. Features include configurable applet size, font and colour.
I have tested the applet under various conditions and everything seems to work well. For some reason, the NavBar does not change colour when the cursor is over the label under Internet Explorer but I do not consider that a major problem.
The latest version of the applet is available at The Java Showcase. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any comments or suggestions.
