Dark theme in Netbeans 7 or 8

Is there a way to have a dark theme in Netbeans?

Solution

  • Netbeans 8

    Tools -> Options -> Appearance (Look & Feel Tab)

    (NetBeans -> Preferences -> Appearance (Look & Feel Tab) on OS X)

    Netbeans 7.x

    Tools -> Plugins -> Available -> Dark Look and Feel - Install this plugin.

    Once this plugin is installed, restarting netbeans should automatically switch to Dark Metal.

    There are 2 themes that comes with this plugin - Dark Metal & Dark Nimbus

    In order to switch themes, use the below option :

    Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Windows -> Preferred Look & Feel option
