How to change NetBeans window background color?

In Windows 8, how do you change the default white window background color?

  • I am not seeing the option that existed in previous versions of windows where you could change the color of various UI elements, most importantly the white window background color.

  • Answer:

    It is selectable by app only... not an overall setting.  So if the programmer hasn't programmed it in, leave feedback asking him to allow changes.

The Windows 7 setting to allow changing window background color was randomly removed from Windows 8 for no real reason. Microsoft would tell you it was removed along with Aero but that's not a real excuse. Anyway, you can still change the background color via a registry hack. Follow the steps below - proceed with caution as changing or deleting wrong registry values and easily mess up your Windows installation. Press Windows button on Keyboard or click bottom left corner of the desktop to bring up modern UI menu. Type regedit. RegEdit icon will show up. Click it to launch the registry editor. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors . On the right pane you will see a list of registry settings and their values. Right click the setting "Window" . Choose modify. You can enter an RBG color value for the Window background here. The default will be 255 255 255 which is white. You can get the RGB values for popular colors from a site like this : http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm For example, if you want to set your Window background color to a shade of grey, enter 115 115 115. When you decide on a value, enter it and press Ok. Close registry editor and reboot Windows.
