Restoring all GUI items to their default size / positions in NetBeans

Tags:

netbeans

I was wondering if there was a quick key combination in NetBeans to get the various GUI items placed on it back to their default sizes and something approaching a default position. I ask because, when swapping between Layouts / playing with NetBeans / trying to get the various items to display properly, they have the odd tendency to teleport to places I cannot find, or change size to something less than useful. Admittedly, this is quite annoying, when you have more than a few items in a form, and have to use the Navigator to find out whether the damn thing even still exists!

You can use the Window > Reset Windows menu item. This will reset the IDE's GUI back to the default state.

Use the Help>About menu to find the User Directory. Then navigate to it and delete directory config>Windows2Local. Restart the IDE and you will have the default windows settings. (The deleted dir will be recreated by netbeans)
