They do not begin to compare to the excellent Darcula theme in JetBrains IntelliJ. Unfortunately, neither theme suits my eyes. Perhaps Menlo on a Mac, or its parent DejaVu. Tip: You can alter the font in either theme, while preserving the other aspects. That should mean much less risk of side-effects and bugs than a plugin.

The profiles affect only the code editing pane, not the entire NetBeans user-interface. The rest of this Answer is left intact for history, and for alternatives if Darcula proves problematic.Īt least in NetBeans 8.0, two dark profiles are now built-in.

The Darcula plugin has no such problem the Mac menu bar appears normally.

Also, that plugin was not savvy with Mac OS X menus so the main Mac menu bar was nearly empty while NetBeans’ own menu bar was embedded within the window. That other one was more clunky and I had to spend much time tweaking colors of “Norway Today” to work together. While I was grateful to use that for a while, I am much happier with Darcula. There was a similar plugin product predating Darcula: the “Dark Look And Feel Themes” plugin. As a plugin this affects the entire user interface of NetBeans that can be very tricky to get right. This seems to be a very thorough product. Already the makers have had a few updates fixing a few glitches, so that is good to see. While still new I am reserving final judgement on Darcula. Then see both the Output tab and the Terminal tab. From that Fonts & Colors tab, switch to the sibling tab Miscellaneous. You might also want to change the font seen in the Output and the Terminal panes. While in that same Fonts & Colors tab, select Default in the Category list and hit the … button to choose a font. Save the duplicate with a different name such as appending your name.To change the font, add these steps to the above to duplicate the profile as a backup before making your modification: Hack was built on the very successful DejaVu font which in turn was built on Bitstream Vera. For a free-of-cost and open-source font, the best is Hack. I most highly recommend the commercial font for programmers, PragmataPro. You may want to change the font in the method editor.

Then click the Apply and OK buttons at the bottom. Double-check to make sure you have Darcula as the selected Profile of course. Workaround: Click the Restore button found to the right of the Profile name. Of course you can change the background color of each Category manually but that is tedious. These are categories listed on the Annotations tab of the Fonts & Colors tab. You may find the background color of lines of code may be too bright such as lines marked with a breakpoint, or the currently executing line in the debugger. I suggest also hitting Duplicate in case you ever make any modifications (discussed below). In NetBeans > Preferences > Fonts & Colors (tab) > Profile (popup menu), choose the new Darcula item.

As per usual, check the checkbox and click the Install button. On the Available Plugins tab, scroll or search for 'Darcula LAF for NetBeans'. The plugin Darcula LAF for NetBeans is easily available through the usual directory within NetBeans.Ĭhoose Tools > Plugins. This NetBeans plugin is itself open-source as well. So we see close fidelity to the original Darcula. This NetBeans plugin discussed here wraps that original implementation, adapting it to NetBeans.

Konstantin Bulenkov of the JetBrains company open-sourced the Darcula look-and-feel originally built for the IntelliJ IDE. This plugin provides the real Darcula, not an imitation. The attractive and productive Darcula theme in JetBrains IntelliJ is now available in NetBeans 8.0 & 8.1! The Real Thing
