To change the default appearance of netbeans, 7.2.1 go to the home directory \ Program file \ netbeans 7.2.1 \ etc;
Now open the netbeans.confg file and find out the following text.
netbeans_default_options = "- J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX: PermSize = 32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar = true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz = true -J -Dsun. java2d.noddraw = true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping = true "
Now add the following text ;
- laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel;
Now it will look:
netbeans_default_options = "- J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX: PermSize = 32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar = true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz = true -J -Dsun. java2d.noddraw = true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping = true - laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
