Hi Mark
you can enable this also on command line (or in etc/netbeans.conf) with:
-J-Dflatlaf.useWindowDecorations=true
and disable embedded menubar with:
-J-Dflatlaf.menuBarEmbedded=false
https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/system-properties/
BTW this is only available on Windows 10.
Have not enabled this by default because it has downsides that I like to
fix first in FlatLaf. Some Windows 10 functionality is lost ATM:
- no drop shadows around windows
- snapping does not work, see:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/snap-your-windows-885a9b1e-a983-a3b1-16cd-c531795e6241
- no system window menu when clicking on app icon
This will be fixed/implemented in one of the next FlatLaf versions.
Here is a PR that uses JNA to access Win32 API:
https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/pull/262
I'd like to replace JNA with JNI/C++ to avoid dependency on 3MB JNA jars.
If all goes well, this could be ready for FlatLaf 1.1 or 1.2 and then
land in NB 12.4...
Looking at the screenshots, I think it would be great if we could move
the search box from the menubar into the toolbar area. Then the embedded
menubar would work fine and safe some vertical space.
Would be also great to have some kind of "FlatLaf" tab in the Options
dialog to allow the user to enable/disable this kind of FlatLaf features.
Regards,
Karl

Hi all,
Now that NetBeans 12.3 is using a recent FlatLaf version, it would be possible
to have a dark title bar under Windows 10. In beta 3, it’s still not enabled
though. I always felt the Windows 10 default, light title bar with FlatLaf dark
theme to be pretty distracting, especially in full screen mode. It’s also light
if Windows itself is running in dark mode.
More information on the dark title bar with FlatLaf can be found here:
https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/releases/tag/0.37
<https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/releases/tag/0.37>
I have tweaked my NB dev version accordingly. Please see screenshots at
https://i.imgur.com/P0Xmp6T.png <https://i.imgur.com/P0Xmp6T.png> (I think it’s
not possible to send images to here). My current version is not mergeable though, as
it’s just a quick PoC. It’s just about calling
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
and setting
TitlePane.menuBarEmbedded=false
If desired, I could provide a merge request but I would need some questions to be
answered first. Likely it is easier if someone with knowledge about NetBeans
L&Fs would just add it.
Regards,
Mark
