In A Nutshell
Been
a while i have been trying out different IDE/Editors, but i hardly find
one that quench my thirst.. All of em end up missing one thing or the
other and i always find my self running back to Netbeans IDE for PHP
majorly because of its features.
You'd
wanna ask to know what makes me not stick to Netbeans IDE. its actually
because of the Ugly font it has, no other reason. I believe most
programmers desires an encouraging environment for coding, not one you'd
wake up to see in some morning and feel reluctant to jump into your own
coding. So then i came up to make a theme on netbeans pretty much close
to what i use on sublime text editor with some extra settings to
enhance your coding with less distraction of netbeans warnings/alert.
Download
Usage
Goto netbeans menu bar > Tools > options ....
- and at the left bottom corner of the popped up dialog window, click import > locate the .zip file where you downloaded it.
- after successful import(still on the popped up dialog window from step 1)
- Click on fonts and color, then set sublime idle as your default
- have fun afterwards
---------------------------------------
What it lacks
- Some kinda very clear font in sublime, but there are fix for it that i
know of on Linux(Ubuntu Distro) which is called anti-aliasing(font
smoothing)... But to fix it fairly;
- Locate where netbeans program files are, on your desktop
-- ~/netbeans-x.x.x for linux and should be C:/program_files/netbeans-x or documents/netbeans-x on windows
- Navigate into etc/ folder
- open netbeans.conf with a text editor, look for the line that starts with netbeans_default_options and towards the end of netbeans_default_options value quotes with diff options set separated with comma, between the quotation marks)" add this:
-J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=<OPTION>
<OPTION> can be any of the following:
onlcdgasp lcd_hbgrlcd_vrgb lcd_vbgr
You can play around with each of them to see which best fits your taste.. Have a nice time coding..
NB: Restart netbeans after changes and i recommend you backup your netbeans.conf file before making changes..
