NB Look & Feel customization question

[Thomas Wolf]

A couple L&F questions:
1) Is it (still) possible to run NB with third-party L&Fs? There used
to be the Substance plugin, but the work on that has been discontinued.
But there are instructions on how to change the L&F via command-line
options - they're still valid?
2) If so, can someone give me instructions on where to put the L&F
command-line options on Mac OS X (I'm ashamed to say that I'm a complete
newbie on Mac OS X yet have begun developing on it).

Kinda related: a couple years ago I wrote an enhancement bug to allow us
to customize the colors of the main NB windows (rather than just the
editor as is currently the case), but I haven't seen any changes on that
front:

https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151069

Someone from NB, David Simonek, raised the priority of the issue and
said that he'd try to address it. That was in 2008. Is he still
working at Netbeans?

If you think implementation of this bug could be useful, please vote for
it. As I indicated in the bug comments, changing the entire L&F just to
get dark backgrounds in the windows is total overkill.

Thnx,
Tom
