Hey all, I prefer to have an option for this because not everyone likes it I Guess. If we will have no Option then I prefer it as default. On the other Hand what Thomas said, to Change the LaF of your choice, the theming Options is that was we are Looking for. I dunno whether it is JSON or property files but this is already there in swing and for this we have already a ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3746 and DevCharly already started a PR: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3746

I still prefer the Windows Look & Feel, so I don't really care, but regarding the FlatLaf integration: Maybe NetBeans could support customizing FlatLaf through external .properties file, so people can customize it to their preferences. Users for my own (non-NetBeans, pure Swing) application were asking about customization options for FlatLaf. So I integrated that. It's really not a huge effort, this can either be done through .properties file (very easy to integrate) or through .theme files, which requires using a different LnF class during initialization. Maybe that's an option for NetBeans as well.
