Description telespalla_filone 2009-06-03 20:40:40 UTC

Hi, I noticed that using Dark Room theme in Ubuntu 9.04, some forms present font colors almost unreadable. Moreover in
Netbeans is difficult to distinguish disabled voices in menus. I attach sample images. I attach a Firefox menu image
too, to show how other softwares resolve the disabled menu voices problem.

My system:
Ubuntu 9.04 (Gnome 2.26.1) Dark Room Theme
Netbeans 6.7 RC1
OpenJDK 6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7

Thanks for you great work.

We don't set font color in menu - it is standard swing color, so I'm afraid we cannot do much about this. 

I'm mot sure if we can setup color in output window -> reassigning to proper component

Darkroom theme is not available in the Ubuntu 10.10.
I've tested Output Window in High Contrast Inverse, which have dark blue background. And Output Window displays the output correctly. It's readable well.
The Editor Hints options are also displayed correctly and readable.

But the menus are slightly corrupted in the same way as in the screenshot.

i tried 'high contrast inverse' theme with jdk 1.6.0_24 and the menus seem fine to me.
please reopen if you still have problems with gnome l&f in netbeans. but first please compare with the looks of swingset demo application (in your jdk folder)
