This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
To reproduce: - Open NetBeans 6.9.1 on a Solaris platform (could also affect Linux) - Launch new project wizard; note the use of purple folder icon in the left hand category side of the wizard - Create a C/C++ project; note the folder icons underneath the created project is not the same as the platform's folder icon. Look at the attachment on Mac. Suggestions for fix: - Investigate what other platforms are doing regarding this icon for other places such as the folders under Java projects (e.g. are they using it the icon directly, and applying badges; or are they creating copies of the default icon to in their own workspace - If it is not used directly, use a copy of the system' default folder icon and play around with badging.
Created attachment 105805 [details] variety of folder icons used on Solaris platform Note the 3 different folder looks here: - Project tab - purple folder (old Java L&F) - Open File - blue-ish folder (newer Java L&F) - System's File Browser - beige/brown folder icon
Created attachment 105807 [details] screenshot of folder icons on NB running on Mac Notice that all folder icons are consistent between NetBeans and the platform's folder icon
When running under GTK l&f the IDE forces Metal l&f for file chooser windows as the the GTK implementation looks horrible. The folder icon in Metal l&f does look dated. However you can switch to Nimbus l&f which looks much better.
