 - the fonts are different.  The font is the right family 
  but is set at the wrong DPI or point size (probably a JDK bug) 
 - text the explorer tree has a colored background
 - the toolbars buttons are about double width
 - menus are about double height and 1.5x width

This is with Fedora Core 1 and Bluecurve (with font dpi set at 110),
NetBeans dev-20031118.
Comment 3 David Simonek 2004-01-09 13:46:01 UTC 
Planned to be fixed for 3.6.
Comment 4 _ jrichard 2004-01-09 23:40:05 UTC 
FWIW: GTK L&F looks just as bad with JDK 1.5 alpha, but then some of
the problems seem intrinsic to GTK L&F (the demo apps look weird too).
Comment 5 _ tboudreau 2004-02-09 15:52:21 UTC 
FYI, you may want to try a recent build.  There should be no more black-on-black text.  
There are no UI delegates for the new winsys for GTK L&F, and it doesn't look pretty.  
Given that at least the text is legible, we may want to close this issue and open specific 
ones on individual problems.  We should make sure the IDE is basically usable on GTK for 
3.6, and plan full support for it for a subsequent release.
Comment 6 _ tboudreau 2004-04-28 10:28:15 UTC 
GTK support has been integrated.  For now, to run it, run with 

-J-DuseGtk=true

and only on jdk 1.5 > b47.  Using GTK L&F on 1.4.2 is blocked even if using -ui, since it 
would throw exceptions, etc.  We'll make it the default after the next 1.5 beta (or release) 
goes out.
