NB3.6 RC1 and maybe earlier. All unixes, all jdks ================================================== I'm giving it as low priority cause I'm afraid it's not common user scenario and if yes, the KDE window manager (don't know if it is possible in Gnome) is not supported WM :-( But for me, it's pretty anoying, grr... :-( Definitely it was OK in the earliers' NB36 dev build. You could check it at http://installer.netbeans.org/nonav/qa/testspecs/nb36/testspec-installer.html#suite_ID_5 This snapshot was created at DEC 19, 2003 example of unredable panel I'm going to attach (you could see it in TS for NB36 too at: http://installer.netbeans.org/nonav/qa/testspecs/nb36/testspec-installer.html#suite_ID_2 This snapshot was created at APR 2, 2004) Problem is that there must be hardcoded color of widgets like button BACK, NEXT... and also of JFILECHOOSERS where the navigation is totaly unredable (see attachment). That means that my KDE color theme is aplied just "halfly" and the rest Installer handles it itself. There are to possible solution: 1) the easier one: Let's all aplication protect against KDE forcing its colors 2) Let the KDE force its colors and fonts completly at all part of the application.
Created attachment 14279 [details] My KDE desktop layout with running unredable NB installer
It looks like problem of KDE color scheme. It would be good to see native file chooser color scheme.
