JProgressBars with larger than 'default' heights are drawn too short

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As you can see in the attachments, the 'Metal' L&F correctly aligns the bottom 
edge of the (disabled) JProgressBar with that of the adjacent JButton.  I need 
your very attractive 'SeaGlass' L&F to be doing the same.

We made a decision that we would support this in one size and not resize it. 
Would it be sufficient to properly center it?

Without meaning to offend, I think that's a really bad design decision.  
Third-party L&Fs must possess the ability to resize any widgets that the 
default 'Metal' L&F can.

This is especially the case for a JProgressBar, which looks plain ugly in its 
default (skinny) dimensions.  I probably won't use 'SeaGlass' if this issue 
isn't fully fixed.

We discussed this and agree that we don't think this is a problem. We'll make 
sure it's centered and we'll add a client property to choose between a default, 
a small, and a large size.

When you say that 'this' isn't a problem, does 'this' refer to "the current 
behaviour" or to "my request"?

Centring the JProgressBar is a good idea, but I dunno that including it in 
'small' and 'large' sizes will be useful.

Widgets need to be gradually resizable by the user at runtime, instead of 
coming in pre-determined (absolute) sizes.

As mentioned earlier, third-party L&Fs should consistently imitate the resizing 
capabilities of the default 'Metal' L&F.

We're not going to resize it. We think it would look awful. There are look and 
feel implementations that do not resize all widgets the way metal does. We are 
one of them. If you disagree you are free not to use it.

It couldn't possibly look any worse than it currently does :-D.  It's not so 
much that I won't be using it, but rather that I might not recommend it to my 
users.

I won't make this decision until after you've centred it and added a 'large' 
size.  For this reason, please let me know once you've implemented these 
improvements.
