Solarized Colorscheme for NetBeans
Developed by Ethan Schoonover es@ethanschoonover.com
Ported to NetBeans by Brian Fenton [https://github.com/fentie]
See the homepage for the Solarized colorscheme for versions for
Vim, popular terminal emulators and other applications.
If you have come across this colorscheme via the NetBeans-only repository on
github, see the link above to the Solarized homepage or
visit the github repository for Solarized.
Installation
-
Download the NetBeans Solarized repo. Unpack the downloaded file, then manually create a
new zip file containing the "config" folder. -
Open NetBeans, select Preferences, then Import in the lower left. Navigate
to the zip file you created, check the Netbeans_Solarized_Dark and/or
Netbeans_Solarized_Light box under the Fonts & Colors section. -
Restart NetBeans (just to be on the safe side).
-
To use the new themes, go to Preferences, Fonts & Colors, and select either
of the two new themes from the Profile dropdown, and hit OK.
Known Issues
Do not use the archive program built into Windows XP to create the zip file
in step 1. It does not support file paths longer than a certain length, and
that results in some missing preferences. If you are using Windows XP, use
a third party archiver like 7zip (free).
Which Variation?
Normally there would be a discussion of 16- vs. 256-color versions of Solarized
here, but I've only ported the 16-color version. This color scheme is also not as
flashy/rich as the Vim ones due to lack of granularity in the NetBeans theme
preferences.
The Values
The NetBeans color preferences UI supports RGB, HSB, and hex values. I prefer the
RGB versions, which I've copied below for reference. For the full list of colors
specified in other formats, see the main Solarized home page
