What's new in this version

  • Version: 0.1.3
  • Removed NIMRodLAF, using Metal LAF instead. This will remove all the unnecessary animations
  • Ctrl-F issue should be resolved now.
  • Text sliding on the GUI builder tab on Options pane should be eliminated.
This version introduces a few annoyances because of such a big change. The release is to fix the functionality issue that previous versions introduced. Watch for fined tuned look in the future releases and as always, file a bug if you think there is one, helps me spend that much more time on development.

Introduction

ez on da ice

Goal of the project is to create a look and feel that is easy on the eyes

Project Page

NOTE

There are a few annoying bugs that don't seem to budge. eggbert74's advice isn't without weight, so I gave it a try. I was able to create a dark look and feel with just the color keys exposed by netbeans. Problem is, it isn't complete. Because of the large developer base that netbeans has had, the coding practices have varied significantly and some of the colors are not exposed outside to be customized. This means is that quite a few patches are due :(. But I think this is lesser of the two evils.

Stick with NimrodLAF

  • Not supported since 2010
  • Causes unwanted animations
  • Could break with future release of netbeans
  • Provides a better overall LAF


Switch to MetalLAF based theme

  • Might have patches of black text quite a few Places.
  • Does not mess with overall LAF so the plugin will not induce unwanted animations.
  • As long as netbeans keeps supporting the color keys, the plugin will work without any problems


Version 0.1.3 of the plugin is released. This version uses all Metal based color customizations. I haven't spent too much time on this version, so a few issues you might find could be fixed, just let me know on sourceforge.



Reply to this sourceforge post and let me know what you think .....
Rate, Comment :)

Please open bugs and request changes on sourceforge.net. It makes it easier for me to remember and track.

Netbeans Bug:

Database view Colors Bug
The colors in database are not exposed outside. Without these it would not be possible to comeup with a good LNF. I have created a bug and submitted a patch. Could you guys please go to the bug page and vote it up. More the votes, faster the delivery and inturn you will get a better version of ez-on-da-ice.

Has some problems with 7.2

The Find and Find/Replace text entry boxes are all messed up if the plugin is installed in NetBeans 7.2. We had to temporarily disable the plugin after we upgraded to 7.2.

Pretty good

Works OK, but there are some issues as mentioned in previous comments. 3rd party Swing look and feels never seem to get it quite right, or break between Java versions.

I use the old style "steel" Metal l&f which works well, and is much lighter than all other look and feels. It is possible to change the colors of the Metal l&f. I think using metal would be a better basis for a dark color plugin as it's never going to get "outdated" because oracle has to support it.

What would be really neat is if there was a plugin based on Metal where we could define our own colors for the UI.

"... to become one of those ten..."
Well, a little help:
'10' = 2 in binary notation

Sorry, it is almost 30 years old joke. Certainly you are from a younger generation ;-)

@Deldadam

Thanks for testing the bug. I will look at it.

I have been aspiring to become one of those ten people for a while, but evidence suggests otherwise :). I'll change the version number.

Stay tuned for a release in a couple days, while it won't solve all issues, especially sql tables issue, it will solve some of them.

Versioning - a wise methode to help users and yourself

A little bit confusing version numbers are used.
Here, on the top of NB plugin portal version '0.1.1' is written. The same version number is displayed on the SourceForge site (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ez-on-da-ice/). However the file size downloaded from here is 200 045 bytes, while the 'same' version on SourceForge has a size of 194 336 bytes. I doubt that the same sw. version can suffer from almost 6kB difference :)
Now it is getting more complicated if you install the plugin, and you look at the internally displayed version number in NB's Plugin window: it says 'version 1.0'.

I know that 'there are only 10 people on the world who can understand the binary logic' - but I hope you are among them :)

So, currently you've got only 2 versions, which is still not so complicated situation, but if you wanna develop your plugin in the future - and I hope you will - then you and your users will face to a messy situation, when not using some more consequent versioning.

Bye,

DelD.

Problem on find/replace fields in 7.2RC

Hi,

Thank you for this very nice work, thank you for my eyes !

I found a problem in 7.2RC : the two fields in the find/replace bar (Ctrl+F) disappear as I type in them, or as the mouse hovers them.

You can see a screen capture here :

dl.dropbox.com/u/40542280/netbeansScreenCapture.png

I'm on Debian GNU/Linux Testing (Wheezy), using KDE as desktop environment. Netbeans 7.2RC.

I don't have this problem on 7.1.2.

Thus, as you can see on the capture, all the tab titles in the left bar are black on very dark grey, which is not very readable. And the selected tab in the editor is not orange as in your picture, but this is not a problem.

Thanks again, and sorry for my english (french !).

Franck.
