Karl Tauber commented on NETBEANS-3746:
---------------------------------------

I use the term "theme" in FlatLaf instead of "look and feel" because it is more 
commonly used in major IDEs and editors (IntelliJ IDEA, VScode, Atom, etc). The 
term "look and feel" is only used in Java Swing (as far as I know).

Technically a "theme" is a "look and feel" in FlatLaf because you have to 
activate each FlatLaf theme with 'UIManager.setLookAndFeel(...)'.

For NetBeans it would be natural to add FlatLaf themes to the Look and Feels 
combobox.

> As far as I know, there ia theming option for FlatLaF inside the FlatLaF 
> demo. See my screencapture for more info. So it is possible via JSON to theme 
> the LaF easy and restartless. IntelliJ is doing that and it works like a 
> charm.
> The problem of NetBeans changing LaF is you often need to restart, because 
> not all components are repainted correctly. But it seems that theming of 
> FlatLaF is independent from NetBeans.
> So it would be nice, if we can switch the FlatLaF theme easy via NetBeans as 
> it is possible in the FlatLaF demo which is located here: 
> https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
> I already asked here: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/issues/29
