Welcome to QuickPanels
QuickPanel and QuickLabelPanel classes put a little visual enhancement to the otherwise
invisible Panel. The first class is QuickPanel and the other is
QuickLabelPanel.
Features

Windows 95 style Panels with a raised, sunken or etched border. Supports all the
functionality of the standard Panel class.
QuickLabelPanel: allows you to have a etched panel (like one of the options from the
QuickPanel) with a text label at the top left of the panel. Supports all the functionality of the standard Panel class.

Why did I do it ?
After making QuickButtons,
I wanted to try my hand at extending some other class for visual enhancement.
Panel
was a good candidate. Panel is a really convenient class in the Java AWT. These two
QuickPanels are extended from the original Panel class, offering a visual enhancement by
way of borders indicating the boundary of the panels.
How do I do it ?
I started by using a windows icon editor software and drawing my own 3D looking panels.
Then I experimented with java.awt.Graphics methods setColor and
drawLine along the lines of QuickButtons.
This resulted in these two QuickPanels.
