> This kind of got into the NB17 release accidentally without much discussion, and we should be careful of such in future, but I'm not sure putting it immediately back again as the default in NB18 is a good idea. With cosmetic changes like this I think we just need to discuss whether each PR is a net improvement or not; stability is mainly a concern for API changes, or UI changes that affect users' workflows. > There is also still a lot of empty space in the FlatLaf option dialog. We may have different philosophies here, but I think having a large number of explicitly exposed options, about very minute details of the UI, reduces usability (due to [decision fatigue](https://www.nngroup.com/articles/simplicity-vs-choice/)). But the [ability to easily change FlatLAF.properties](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4719), which is more obviously an "advanced" feature, is very nice. It could even be the basis for a "skinning" feature in the future. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
