This is a fork of https://github.com/cmadsen/vldocking, a fork of https://bitbucket.org/akuhtz/vldocking

Why?

Because upstream appears to have been abandoned, but bug fixes and new features were desired for OmegaT.

See https://code.google.com/p/vldocking/ for more information.

So what's new?

• Switched to Gradle
• Made an important fix for Linux (see cmadsen#9)
• Additional customization:
  • The background of AutoHideButtons is now customizable via the AutoHideButton.background key for UIManager (Color value)
  • The background of AutoHideButtonPanel is now customizable via the AutoHideButtonPanel.background key for UIManager (Color value)
  • Disable the gradient on DockViewTitleBar via the DockViewTitleBar.disableCustomPaint key for UIManager (Boolean value)
  • The border of the main DockingDesktop component can be set via the DockingDesktop.border key for UIManager (Border value)
• Allow customization with key-value in UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults() table in LookAndFeel#getDefaults.
• Released version 3.1.0 with the above changes
• More changes in CHANGELOG.md

Changes introduced by cmadsen/vldocking:
