Unfortunately the author of the Darcula plugin is really busy. We could
talk with him with Geertjan about the donation and helped the
preparation of it (I think is still have a branch called darcula in my
fork), yet the donation never happened.
On the other hand we started to look what we could do with FlatLaf as a
possible modern Look and Feel alternative. It's author Karl stepped up
and helped to polish all the NB controls, sometimes fixing bugs improve
performance in non FlatLaF part of the IDE as well. He is now a
committer of Apache NetBeans!
So now FlatLaf is better integrated and more supported than Darcula ever
was.

Personally, I'd recommend to not spend our time on Darcula now that we
have FlatLaf.
If anyone disagrees, they're welcome to work on bringing Darcula into
Apache NetBeans GitHub.

Excellent new release - thanks so much for the new software,
especially the new L&Fs.
Speaking of L&Fs, the new FlatLaf Dark uses a very similar color
palette to Darcula, my favorite L&F for the past few years.
Nice! The only downside (so far) I notice is with tabs, as they
use up more vertical space (and, possibly, horizontally too) than
Darcula's. What is the status of Darcula? NB 11.3 offered to
import it from my 11.2 installation, but it does not show up as a
L&F option after I do so. Viewing the IDE log, I don't see any
errors either?! I tried downloading the plugin again from
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/62424/darcula-laf-for-netbeans
but it's no longer available. I tried building the code from
GitHub but get build failures. It seems no longer maintained -
the last update on GitHub was 3 years ago.
Thanks for all info,
Tom
