Yes. You can switch the look and feel (laf) of NetBeans to any of the following widgets: (Screenshots)
Available Themes
- Metal: Also known as "Cross Platform Look And Feel" or "Ocean theme". The typical Java look - this is the default. This class is part of the Java Runtime as javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.
- Nimbus: A modern Synth-based laf. This class is part of the Java Runtime 6u10 as com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel.
- Native: Also known as "System Look And Feel". These classes are part of the Java Runtime ascom.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel (MS Windows), or com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel (Linux), orcom.sun.java.swing.plaf.mac.MacLookAndFeel (Mac OS) depending on the operating system you use (See alsoUIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()).
- Motif: A classic laf. This class is part of the Java Runtime as com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel.
- ... or choose a third-party laf such as Substance ( more...), Napkin, Synthetica, TinyLaF, JGoodies Plastic, and many more. Note that NetBeans is not being regularly tested with alternate/third-party look and feel implementations. Various implementations may or may not work well.
Activating a Theme
Follow these steps to try out different lafs:
- Decide which Look and Feel widget you want (see list above) and remember it's class name (<laf_class>).
- If it's a third-party widget, download the JAR file containing the custom laf classes (<jar_path>).
- Start NetBeans from the command line with the following options (cf. examples below):
- If it's a third-party widget, place the JAR in the classpath using the --cp:p <jar_path> start-up option.
- Select the laf using the --laf <laf_class> start-up option.
- When NetBeans starts you should notice the different look. If not, check for typos.
- If you like the theme, make your custom start-up parameters permanent.
