     @alourie Using the Nimbus LAF is pretty easy. Add "--laf Nimbus" to the command line or shortcut used to start !Netbeans

     @tamasrepus hey samat, I've tried that with no luck, I get "ui class not found, using default". Using !netbeans 6.7.1 and !ubuntu 9.10

     @alourie Which JVM are you using? Sun or OpenJDK? And what version? Nimbus came after Sun's JDK hit 1.6r10

     @tamasrepus I've tried both. Those that come with !ubuntu karmic. I guess u15? Besides, I d/l latest from sun, and it still didn't work...

     @alourie Are you sure Netbeans is using the right JVM? !Ubuntu #Karmic comes with Sun JVM 1.6u16

     @tamasrepus it's .15: http://pastebin.ca/1692307

     @alourie Oops, I'm actually getting 1.6u16 from some PPA I previously didn't know I was pulling it from

     @alourie Regardless, it should work. Are you using Netbeans pkg or dl from web? What JVM is Netbeans using? Check the about dialog

     @tamasrepus man, thanks! netbeans was using openJdk, I switched to Sun's jdk and it worked! Now netbeans with nimbus on !ubuntu rules...

     @alourie Glad it worked. I personally still use the GTK Look-and-Feel, it looks better within #KDE

     @tamasrepus Really? I guess it is a personal preference, I prefer the looks of it on Mac native - it looks even better than Nimbus or GTK

     @tamasrepus Besides that, why do I see interface fonts terribly? Is it a java problem or Netbeans? In Eclipse, interface is fine...

   • Samat K Jain

     @alourie It's a Java problem. #Netbeans uses Swing; Eclipse uses native JNI bindings on it's platforms (GTK for Linux)

   • Alex Lourie Samat K Jain

     @tamasrepus bummer. Is there a way to improve it at least a little bit?

     Tuesday, 01-Dec-09 08:13:27 UTC
   • Samat K Jain

     @alourie Not really, no. That's why I try to stick with OpenJDK and the GTK LAF... it's more up to date than Sun's JDK
