Description ivan_g_s 2008-08-31 22:10:46 UTC 
Nimbus UI, has few shortcomings compared to default look.

1) menu font size remains small, not affected by --fontsize 15, --fontsize 14, or fontsize option left out
but: file tabs in the source editor have correct size

2) memory display element is only half the size of default UI

3) colors of active tabs are not usable.

attached:
- default UI look (called with netbeans --fontsize 15)
- nimbus UI look (called with netbeans --laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel --fontsize 15)

System: opensuse 11.0, java 6u10 (build 1.6.0_10-rc-b28), x64 system, kde 3.5.9 desktop.

Actually, 1) is not contained in the umbrella and it is extremely important accessibility issue, so I've filed it
separately: 146635.
