[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-3746) [FlatLaF] Change theme for FlatLaF

["Eirik Bakke (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3746?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17439245#comment-17439245 ] 

Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-3746:
---------------------------------------

Switching without restarting introduces a lot of potential bugs that would only occur in that particular case. We might risk getting LAF-related bug reports, and then always having to say "did you restart first?" before assessing them.

Since LAF changes are done very infrequently, and are fraught with bugs, I'd prefer not giving users the option of switching without restarting.

> As far as I know, there ia theming option for FlatLaF inside the FlatLaF demo. See my screencapture for more info. So it is possible via JSON to theme the LaF easy and restartless. IntelliJ is doing that and it works like a charm.
> The problem of NetBeans changing LaF is you often need to restart, because not all components are repainted correctly. But it seems that theming of FlatLaF is independent from NetBeans.
> So it would be nice, if we can switch the FlatLaF theme easy via NetBeans as it is possible in the FlatLaF demo which is located here: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
> I already asked here: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/issues/29
