 Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 11:10 am Post subject: Customize netbeans windows size |
 |
|
Hello, I'm new here and I hope to get along with everyone.
I'm working with netbeans over Ubuntu and I wonder if there is a way to customize netbeans windows. The problem I have is that the text on the windows is too big, I tried to minimize it just like I did with the editor text size (Tools->Options->Font&Color->Default) but I couldn't find any option related to it. In a normal case I'd have tried to work under a bigger resolution but I'm already working with it.
Thanks in advance.
PD: I'm not english native, so sorry if I make a few mistakes. |

Hi,
you can customize font size using --fontsize switch. Just add it to the
command line or into netbeans.conf file.
Example:
./netbeans --fontsize 14
Setting in fonts&colors are related only to editor content.
Hope it helps

Thanks for your reply Jiri Prox.
I added --fontsize 10 to the netbeans_default_options but it didn't work. However, I added this --fontsize 10 --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel and It worked. |

Jiri,
I'm using a Mac these days, but when I used to use Netbeans in Ubuntu (as is the original poster), using "--fontsize" on the command-line didn't do anything in the default GTK theme. You had to go through Ubuntu's Administration->Fonts (or something like that) and adjust the "Application Font" (or something like that). Only if you started Netbeans with other themes (e.g. Metal) did it respect the "--fontsize" argument.
Maybe my experience is dated?

Yes --fontsize is respected by Metal only as far as I know, on Ubuntu.

Thanks for clarification Tom, you're right. I've just verified that
font size for GTK theme can be customized in System -> Preferences ->
Appearance -> Font, not by command line switch. (Ubuntu 11.04)
Thanks
