Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-3746:
---------------------------------------
> there is no difference between swing L&F switching theme and that what
> FlatLaF does
The difference is that NetBeans FlatLAF code has been developed by a single
person, who has been keeping the LAF switching (and theme switching) scenario
in mind and tested it frequently. In constrast, other LAF-related code in
NetBeans has been developed over years by many different people, who have all
assumed that the LAF will never change at runtime.
There's a lot of isAqua(), isWindowsLaF(), isGTK() calls etc. spread around the
NetBeans codebase, each being read only once as a component is initialized or
such ( https://github.com/apache/netbeans/search?q=isaqua ). Each of these
would cause a bug if the LAF was switched without a restart. But it wouldn't be
a problem if merely switching the FlatLAF theme, since isFlatLAF() would just
keep returning true.

> 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
