Forgot to mention this in my previous e-mail. Substance 4.3 was the last version of Substance that compiled with Java 5. It was released back in April 2008 and entered long term support mode for bug fixes only. The last bug fix was in October 2008, and now that Substance 6.0 is out, it's time to let version 4.3 be officially EOL'd. The sources, of course, are still there and you're welcome to maintain your own private version of it.

Please note that these two years have seen rewrite of pretty much all the internal layers - from color schemes to painters to animation to high DPI support. I may not be able to answer questions regarding specific technical details of 4.3 implementation. Too many changes went in, and, frankly, the old skinning / animation layers were getting into a state that prevented any further evolution. I might not even be able to give a rough pointer on where to start debugging the specific skinning / animation / ... issue beyong the relevant Substance*UI class.

Thanks
