[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-6358) Font style regression: badly readable font style
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6358?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17468769#comment-17468769 ]
Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-6358:
----------------------------------------
Thanks for the report. It's not a minor issue, in the sense that 12.6 introduced code to improve this, which looks like it might not be behaving correctly on your machine? Please compare with the images at [https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3114] And also, please try switching to FlatLaf Light (Tools / Options / Appearance / Look and Feel) and see if the same problem exists there.
> Font style regression: badly readable font style
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-6358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6358
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: editor - Navigation, ide - UI, java - Navigation
> Affects Versions: 12.6
> Environment: NB 12.6
> Win10
> Reporter: S. M.
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: bold.png, regular.png

> The font style changed in 12.6 in a way that makes it less readable. The following fonts are bold now:
> - The name of the source files in the source-code-tab
> - The project names in the projects windows (and all its child nodes)
> This bulky use of bold fonts makes the text badly readable. Please use a regular font instead! The source-code names in the source-window-tab used to be bold only when the file had unsaved changes, which seems to be a good thing to me.
> It might seem to be a 'minor' problem, but the font as part of the ergonomically usability is quite important.
> Thanks a lot!
> Here the comparison:
> Bulky and badly readable: New bold style
> !bold.png!
> Clear and readable: Old regular style
> !regular.png!
