hex dump

[Glenn Holmer]

Does anybody else think it would be useful to have the option of viewing
variables as a traditional hex dump in the NetBeans debugger? I'm
thinking, for example, of a byte array. You can right-click a variable
and select "Display as/Hexadecimal", but you don't get a dump (with hex
characters on the left and readable characters on the right).

Is there anything in the Platform that would make this easy to do?

RE: Font scaling on High Res displays

[Eirik Bakke]

On Linux, HiDPI scaling is supported via the GDK_SCALE environment variable, 
but it's not set automatically. I'm not yet sure whether there's a way to get 
different scaling levels on different monitors, though. See 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2360 .

I'd also recommend using FlatLAF as the Look & Feel on Linux, as that one has 
been updated with scalable window system icons (like the Windows and MacOS 
LAFs).

On a Linux desktop, HiDPI doesn't seem supported by NB 11. I configured editor 
settings to use very large font sizes so I can read source files though. The 
menus and window options are quite small though, so I just guess from memory 
when running things.

And see Laszlo's point here--you can still compile and run your projects with 
JDK 8, even though the IDE itself is running on a more recent Java version.

You can run NetBeans on JDK 11 13 or 14 and still be able to work on Java 8 
projects., just add the Java 8 platform into Tools > Java Platforms.

I'll try the other suggestions if that doesn't work but I'd prefer not to hard

sizes as well and hard coding any settings including forcing the font size 
doesn't translate automatically with other displays.

Subject: Font scaling on High Res displays

I got a new Dell Precision 5540 laptop through work that is running a native 
resolution of 3840 x 2160 on a 15" screen.  Windows defaults to 250% scaling to 
make text and icons readable at this resolution.

However, Netbeans project/source views don't seem to detect/honor the scaling 
settings and it is literally unreadable except with a magnifying glass.   The 
tool bar seems to honor the system scaling/font settings.  I can also change 
the editor text size but it does nothing for the project/Files/Services view 
nor the output/debug windows.

Enabling "Maximize use of native look and feel" didn't help.  Is there another 
setting I'm missing or do I just need to change the resolution?

Thanks!

Re: Font scaling on High Res displays

[Peter Steele]

I have hdpi working ok on Linux with jdk 11 and netbeans 12. The only issue
I have is the icons are small and the splash screen is small. I believe
there is a Jira for the icons (migrate to SVG ones)

I use the flatui theme, the theme you use is pretty important.

FlatUI does not need any special OS settings to work

Nimbus and Metal both need an OS settings to trigger any scaling. On Linux
you can set the gtk scale env variable and it will work although you will
need to adjust the font size as TTF fonts are typically hard coded to 96dpi
so won't change automatically with hdpi monitor.
