Description luismsgomes 2009-01-15 14:07:27 UTC

The color configuration dialog should allow the user to change the background and text color of all windows.

When using a dark background in the editor, it would be desirable that all surrounding windows (Navigator, Projects,
Output, etc) could be configured to a darker background to avoid the clash.

Passing to windows system - please evaluate. Thanks.

This is generally handled by the Look and Feel (there are many out there).  You also might find the module contrib/tanui useful, which simply modifies the colors of the current look and feel (mid tone w/ lighter and darker text).

Generally, it is not possible to do this for all look and feels - some (GTK in particular) simply do not care what colors you want controls to be - it is using native painting from the OS (but if you set up a theme there, NetBeans will use it).  Others (Nimbus, Metal) can be themed.
