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. On Fri, Jun 26, 2020, 7:16 PM Eirik Bakke w

Lots of HiDPI improvements on Windows 10 have been made in recent NetBeans and Java versions, so as others have suggested, just get the latest versions of both, and it should work fine. And see Laszlo's point here--you can still compile and run your projects with JDK 8, even though the IDE itse

Thanks Gj; You are right that learning JavaFX is the goal and using gradle is not. And in the interest of expediency you are again correct to ignore gradle. But this is a 'learning experience', and learning gradle is probably part of it. However, giving the devil his due, I will probably do
