netbeans gtk lookandfeel

So how do you invoke Netbeans with the GTK Look & Feel? It’s documented in the Netbeans documentation:

Instead of simply invoking the /bin/netbeans executable, invoke:

/opt/netbeans/bin/netbeans -laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

Substitue /opt/netbeans for wherever you installed Netbeans to.

Hint: You can open your “/opt/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf” file, and add the “-laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel” to the end of the “netbeans_default_options” variable.
