One advantage of activating "Small Toolbar Icons" by default is that every icon would be 16x16 logical pixels everywhere by default. The large toolbar icons have a rather odd 24x24 size, which means some actions (e.g. Undo/Redo) currently appear with (slightly) different icon art in the toolbar and the menu bar. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bien <mbie...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 2:16 PM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: [DISCUSS] tweak some defaults for NB17? Hi devs, I have a list of options I usually change when setting up NetBeans. If other devs are doing the same, maybe we could set some by default. Lets see: grouped tab list (tools -> options -> appearance -> doc tabs -> and check "Sort opened documents list by project") This feature got some fixes recently and there are also more PRs pending: #4792 "New document opens next to active document tab" (same setting panel as above): I found this fairly useful when there are a lot of tabs open since it keeps recent opened tabs closer together. Firefox can do that too, but its off by default - might be an argument to leave it off if it is not intuitive enough. small toolbar icons: I still use 1080p screens since they simply don't want to break. Which is why one of the first things I change is to switch to small toolbar icons. The big ones always remind me on Toys-R-Us. Are the small icons useable on 4k? Should we make this the default? view -> show versioning label: Super useful. Shows the [branch] next to the project name/files. Git -> Show History... could show more items by default. Since everything is local. No good reason to paginate this starting with 10 items. bump max file size editor open warning: Editor asks before opening large files, this value can be probably increased a bit given that hardware improved. (basically every second log file will cause this warning) this one might be controversial since its about tabs: switch tab size default from 8 to 4 (tools -> options -> editor -> formatting -> tab size). (java files only?) Most shell editors still use 8 spaces to represent a tab character, but everything on the web these days uses 4 by default (e.g github, i think gitlab too). You can see in PRs who doesn't change that setting :) show no transfer progress for maven artifact downloads (tools -> options -> java -> maven -> execution) --no-transfer-progress flag set in global execution options The output window doesn't handle displaying the download progress very well. It only adds to the noise in most cases. lets concentrate on the uncontroversial, and lets not change too much at once :) that is all I had in my notes - more suggestions welcome of course, best regards, michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
