Are each of you on Windows, MacOS, and/or Linux? The Windows LAF was just overhauled, so more time may be needed to collect feedback: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2967 https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3114 (Some recent MacOS/Aqua LAF rendering improvements as well: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2970 ) -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Christian Lenz <christian.l...@gmx.net> Sent: Monday, November 1, 2021 3:25 PM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: AW: [DISCUSS] Default to FlatLaf in NetBeans 13? +1 to make FlatLaF as default. You Always can switch back, if you want, but as Neil said, a lot of people don’t like the Default theme for Windows or mac (me either). At the end it is a matter of taste. I like dark most but I’m for making light Default and you can switch to dark if you want. I know there was a discussion about to add a dialog at the very first start of NetBeans to make some simple stuff like change the LaF to light/dark and some other stuff like what IntelliJ do. But I also can create a plugin for this. Cheers Chris Von: Neil C Smith Gesendet: Montag, 1. November 2021 15:01 An: dev Betreff: [DISCUSS] Default to FlatLaf in NetBeans 13? 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?
