Dynamic Look And Feel Changer

 

 

This plugin is used to change the look and feel of the Netbeans IDE dynamically

 

Netbeans Plugin Site : http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/49218/dynamic-look-and-feel-changer

 

 

Usage

 

After the plugin is installed, a new page would have been added in Options -> Miscellaneous - > Dynamic Look And Feel Changer tab.

 

 

 

The first text field "Current Look And Feel" shows the current look and feel class that is currently active

 

 

The second text field "Currently Configured Look And Feel" shows the look and feel that is configured in this page. This will be empty until the Look and Feel is  set for the first time. 

 

 

After it is set for the first time, during every restart of Netbeans IDE, the configured Look and feel will be set by this plugin. This will override the LAF configuration in the netbeans.conf file, if any

 

 

The list "Available Look and Feels" will show all the installed Look And Feel class names. Click "Set Look and Feel" button to set the selected look and feel
