-0 on this.I am red/green color deficient. I've tried using FlatLaf several times, and I just could not get the color selection to work where everything was different and yet easy for me to read.
I'll try again on 12.5, but for now I've stuck with the Windows LAF for my Windows systems and Nimbus (don't laugh) for my GtK systems due to some font scaling issues.
I'll try FlatLaf with 12.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 to see how it goes, but Nimbus seems to work fine for me at the moment.
Changing the default is not an issue with me since I currently do it anyway. About the only issue with changing away from FlatLaf is that I have to change the editor LAF separately from the IDE LAF (last time I tried).
I'm mostly a systems admin / architect these days so my NetBeans usage centers around proof of concepts and tracking down memory leaks in Java web applications.
In short, I'm more of a casual user at this point. . . . . just my two cents /mde/Thanks for a great platform, and hopefully one day soon I'll actually be able to contribute.

+1 on this one. Maybe if we could even the installer should be on FlatLaf (right now on GTK with dark schema, the license agreement text is white over white, need to select it to be able to read that.)I use FlatLaf Light for the release versions and FlatLaf Dark on the dev builds.On 11/1/21 07:01, Neil C Smith wrote:Hi, So, now we've branched off 12.6, and we know that the next release will be NetBeans 13, require JDK 11+, and hopefully ship with nb-javac included .. is it time we changed (improved?! :-) ) how NetBeans looks out of the box too? Should we consider FlatLaf (light or dark) as the default look and feel from NetBeans 13? This is partly prompted by working through a few JIRA tickets with HiDPI issues resolved by switching, a few snarky social media comments about NetBeans' appearance I've seen recently where the go-to replies seem to just be to tell people to switch to FlatLaf .. and the fact I'm constantly switching even when debugging because the GTK theme on Ubuntu is borderline unusable. So, what do you think? For or against? Maybe also add what you do use, and light or dark, in a reply - it might make some sense if we defaulted to what the majority of us use in practise?
