I think this is an issue in Nimbus, so can't do anything about it .. Standa ?
but, in other java apps with nimbus look and feel, the text is visible in the disabled buttons. only after confirming that, i raised this bug
The screen shot doesn't show Java Nimbus look and feel. It looks more like Nimbus theme in GTK look and feel.

You are using some third-party tool to change the look and feel: INFO [com.adi.dev.java.netbeans.plugins.laf.changer.Installer]: Configured Look and feel class name = javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel In NetBeans you must use --laf Nimbus command-line parameter to use Nimbus look and feel.

Following are the observations after by detailed testing on this issue 1. If the LAF is set using the command line --laf <laf class name>, then there is no problem in the UI (i.e., text is visible in the disabled buttons, menus). This is applicable for both nb 7.3 and nb 7.4 2. If LAF is set programatically using a plugin (Unfortunately or fortunately I am the developer for that [Dynamic Look And Feel Changer] plugin), then issue is coming 3. This is consistent behavior 4. After LAF is set by plugin during nb startup, this issue comes. But, after I open Options > Misc > Dynamic LAF Changer and set the same LAF again, then issue disappears and the text in the disabled buttons become visible immediately. 5. May be some issue in Nimbus PLAF implementation. I am not sure ??!??!!??! After these observations, I modified my plugin to set the LAF twice during nb startup. Now, this issue is not there. I have tested this multiple times.
