When changing the netbeans startup parameters to launch netbeans with a larger font size, it is revealed that many of the dialogs have a fixed size. As a result many dialogs are unable to display their entire contents correctly. As one of many examples the dialog for customizing a grid bag layout has this problem. It is important to be able to run netbeans with a larger font size for everyone who has a screen resolution of 1600x1200 or more which is available on many modern PC graphic adapters. One obvious way to solve this problem would be to use pack instead of setSize on all those dialogs.
Randahl, please be concrete. Which dialogs ? Write list or start by some which you find, thanks in advance.
I think that Randahl provided one example: > As one of many examples the dialog for customizing a grid bag layout has this problem. That should be enough to reproduce the problem.
I set font size to 20 and have seen no problems in GridBagLayout customizer in NB 3.6. I'm don't remember a particular fix being done in this area, it just works for me now.
