I'm using the fontsize configuration with different theme. This allow for menus to be readable as for most areas. What still is wrongly rendered is - Window sizes: most of the content is to big and in some case it is not possible to scale making selection of options a bet - Icons: on project listing, I see the red exclamation mark only sticking my nose to the screen :) Thnaks [copied from my comments in ] I've read that fixing this has been put off pending release of jdk9. I just installed an early access jdk9 and NB dev (Build 201709180002). It doesn't look pretty, and even gets a classNotFound exception (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271499). In my case, I have a new dell 7520 15" 4k display (3840x2160) which puts the dpi at about 240. Running the the current jdk8 has many of the visual items at microscopic size. I have the code font set at 30 in order to see it, and the look and feel is set to GTK+. This is barely usable. Is there a workaround such as a config? Is this a dup of #253761? I've been using daily builds of JDK 9 and Netbeans 9 for a few months and haven't had visual display issues for a while now. I have: Windows 10, Samsung 4k monitor, System font size set to 150%. It looks fine, my only gripe (not a P1) is that we should have higher-quality icons so they look prettier on hi-dpi displays. But that is such a minor concern compared to having ultra-tiny text. ;) Anyway the issue really seems resolved in more recent builds of Java 9, including the first official release version. If this can't be reproduced in Java 9 then closing this issue makes sense. |
Created attachment 151964 [details] what I see I've recently switched to a new laptop with 4k screen Gnome has support for UHD and handle it decently, resizing icons and fonts to a "normal" size. In Netbeans this happens to text editor only, but most of the frame UI stay in an unusable size. As I cannot find a proper setting for it I guess is a bug. This happens too with popups and windows in general which open undersized and need to be resized each time to be usable. Attached a screenshot Regards, Luca
