Netbeans uses the gtk look and feel whenever I run it under gnome. Are you running it under kde or some other window manager/desktop environment? I am aware of a bug where metal is selected as the system look and feel for (at least some) non-gnome desktop environments. (In reply to comment #1) > Are you running it under kde or some other window manager/desktop environment? I speak for Xfce. Patch sent upstream: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/swing-dev/2012-June/002160.html This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 Do we wait for something? Could you provide a scratch build with the suggested patch applied to let me test around? (In reply to Raphael Groner from comment #5) > Do we wait for something? Basically, there's still concerns about breaking things. It was fixed upstream once, but unrelated issues happened and we had to back it out [1]. I am pretty sure a future OpenJDK 7 update will bring this in. [1] http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=729#c16 Closing cause netbeans is orphaned for F20+. The official tarball installation of upstream and L&F works fine. |
Description of problem: It's no hurry, so no need to repackage for now. Netbeans uses the Metal L&F by default. It's not very well integrated on Linux. Please, use the GTK one. Even for KDE users, Qt could be used then with a wrapper like the GTK-QT Theme Engine [*]. ## Setting NetBeans to permanently use the GTK Look and Feel on a GNU/Linux system Edit the following file in your NetBeans installation directory: {$NB_HOME}/etc/netbeans.conf so that the line beginning netbeans_default_options includes the following option between the quotation marks: --laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel ## Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start Netbeans 2. 3. Actual results: Metal L&F Expected results: Nicer Look and Feel for GTK and KDE Additional info: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqCustomLaf http://wiki.netbeans.org/NBLookAndFeels https://seysayux.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/make-java-use-the-gtk-look-feel-on-linux/ [*] GTK-QT Theme Engine: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9714
