DevCharly opened a new pull request #3445: URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3445
Update FlatLaf to v2: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/releases/tag/2.0 There are (nearly) no visual differences compared to previous used version, except the slightly changed [check boxes and radio buttons](https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/pull/414). The main benefits of FlatLaf v2 for NetBeans are the reworked [core themes](https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/pull/390) (easier changing colors), the possibility to [change the accent color](https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/pull/375) and the [FlatLaf Theme Editor](https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/theme-editor/). This should it make it relative easy to change colors/style of the light and dark themes to differentiate more from IntelliJ IDEA look. E.g. adding following to `platform/o.n.swing.laf.flatlaf/src/org/netbeans/swing/laf/flatlaf/FlatLightLaf.properties` ~~~ @background = #f3f3f3 @accentColor = #007aff ~~~ would change the look to (blue accent color; background minimally lighter):  Or adding following to `platform/o.n.swing.laf.flatlaf/src/org/netbeans/swing/laf/flatlaf/FlatDarkLaf.properties` ~~~ @background = #333 @foreground = #c4c4c4 @accentColor = darken(#007aff,5%) Button.default.foreground = #ddd ~~~ would make NetBeans darker and give text more contrast:  Not sure how to "organize" work/ideas on such theme changes... Maybe create two "Draft PRs" (for light and dark) where interested people can comment and add commits? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
