Description brenjt 2013-12-10 02:33:53 UTC 
I cannot open existing projects on the Mac version. I click `Open Project` then navigate to the project folder where the nbproject folder is located. Finder does not allow me to press open. If I go up one directory and click on the projects folder and click open it only opens the folder and not the project. If I select a file the open button is enabled, but clicking it throws and error saying there is no project found. These are legitimate projects, I can open them on a Windows environment. 

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.4 (Build 201310111528)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.9 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_25
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.25-b01

I've found the reason. It's coming from setting called "Maximise use of native look and feel" in Settings -> Misc -> Windows.
