Hi Eirik
We definitely want to help out for the icons. What style you want? How
about I line up our designers with you for a meeting?
Thanks
From Peter

Subject: RE: New theme for netbeans, team member wanted
Hi, Peter!
There is one big theme-related task which is pending, which is to create new
SVG versions of various bitmap icons in the IDE, for modern Retina/HiDPI
screens. I did the first 50 (in Adobe Illustrator), and picked out the next
ones to be prioritized, as you can see here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/13026411/13026411_210604+Icons+Overview+Cropped.png
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U_pj-I3hk9Wj_7lvHcUDsZfFfBSyCkSGqBuv0qt_qXw/edit#gid=812179705
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2617
If you are interested in helping with the icon drawling effort, I'd be happy to
help coordinate.
As for the Look & Feel, I think NetBeans will now be switching to FlatLAF as
the default on all 3 operating systems (Windows, Linux, MacOS). I just
transitioned my own NetBeans Platform application to FlatLAF, and it's a very
good basis for making NetBeans look good in the future. It's also very
configurable, so I think alternative themes can be implemented by means of
configuring and improving FlatLAF, rather than by creating a completely new
Swing LAF.

Hey Peter,
great to have you on board already. We are discussing to add the Flat LaF as a
default theme to NetBeans which is already implemented, but we need to switch
to it.
What I can say what we need is a designer for maybe new UI components. Some
components in NetBeans can be combined into one for example Input + button to
search for paths etc.
Some other parts need a redesign and also proposals. So let us know, what you
think to change in NetBeans and show us some examples and let us discuss about
it 😊.
Cheers
Chris

Betreff: New theme for netbeans, team member wanted
Dear All
My name is Peter, from Quantr Limited. I love Netbeans and have been
developed few plugins for it. This proves my ambition in Netbeans.

Many people said VSCode and intelliJ looks fancier than Netbeans. We want
to contribute our power to theme the netbeans, my company has two designers.
Below are some of their artworks I have experience in java swing styling, I did
developer a L&F ten years ago https://gitlab.com/mcheung63/peter-swing
Netbeans is very complex piece of code, we want team members to
1. Guide us, instruct us
2. Comment the style
3. Help us when we meet trouble in code
4. Coding
