I've been working on the new pixel perfect post which I would like to focus around the text components, in order to do that I needed an underline border type. Historically this is something we shrugged off and pointed people at the 9-piece border. That was the wrong answer and it partially related to the way rendering used to work in Codename One and partially related to our reluctance in changing the resource file format.

Sometimes I get a question on stack overflow that triggers a "yes this should be easy" reflex. I got such a question a couple of weeks ago when I implemented the animated gif support cn1lib and I had another one last week which asked about sorting tables.
