Netbeans dark theme still white

Question

I changed my netbeans ide to darktheme but for some reason the actual text itself is still white. Has anyone had this issue before?

Answer 1

First, I'm using Netbeans 12.3 (just updated)

I had to set both the "Fonts & Colors" and "Appearance" settings. Start by going to "Tools/Options" (I'm not on Windows, but I think that's right) or "Apache Netbeans/Preferences" if you're on Mac.

Go to the "Fonts & Colors", set the "Profile" to "FlatLaf Dark" (or, anything you like :D)

Go to "Appearance/Look and Feel" and set the "Preferred look and feel" to "FlatLaf Dark" (or, anything your like :D)

Hello dark mode!
