Thanks! I ended up using Neil's approach for setting the default LAF with the bundle, adding LookAndFeelClassName=com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf to the branding bundle and adding the following to my NetBeans Platform application pom.xml file:
<dependency> <groupId>org.netbeans.modules</groupId> <artifactId>org-netbeans-swing-laf-flatlaf</artifactId> <version>${netbeans.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> This still lets the user modify the LAF later through the Tools-->Options dialog, which is what I wanted in my case. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Neil C Smith <neilcsm...@apache.org> Sent: Monday, April 11, 2022 5:32 AM To: Amith, Muhammad F <muhammad.f.am...@uth.tmc.edu>; users@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: [RCP] Setting Window Dimensions and LAF On Fri, 8 Apr 2022 at 19:28, Amith, Muhammad F <muhammad.f.am...@uth.tmc.edu> wrote: > 2. How do I set the look and feel of the RCP to one of the new Flat LAF? I'd suggest doing what the IDE itself does, which uses branding but not the laf property. It's much simpler. See the PR that added this to the IDE, and my own use of this in an RCP application. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3332 https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/branding/modules/org-netbeans-swing-plaf.jar/org/netbeans/swing/plaf/Bundle.properties One thing to be aware of, whichever method you use, is that you need a dependency on org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf in one of your modules to force the customs to load. It's a bug IMO that that module is set to autoload.
