Hi, thanks for the excellent job porting this theme to Netbeans. One small issue I noticed is that the colors for highlighting the current line, usages of the current variable, and selected text are all the same, so there's no way to distinguish them.

When importing the settings into NetBeans 7.0 following the instructions provided in the readme, there is no visible difference between the Light and Dark themes. The background color is still white on the Dark theme. Is this intentional?

I'm not used to the solarized theme in general but I just tried the themes for Netbeans (both black and light), thanks for the port.

In java, by default, Netbeans shows the fields in a different color (some dark green). This feature is very important for code readability and understanding. I thus changed the color of "Java>Field Declaration" and "Java>Field Use" to some pale dark green: 105,185,101 (rgb).

My choice is not necessarily the best but it would be helpful for java developers to distinguish fields from other variables.

Cheers,
Rémi

The properties in that blue are very hard to read, and the @media, @charset and @font in black. You have to get very close to the screen to read them or increase the brightness of the screen... hence stressing the eyes, in opposition to solarized color scheme premise.

The colors used for selections and enclosures are identical, or too similar, to properly see what is actually selected.

Suppose you have the following php code:

    <?php
        foreach ($files as $file) {
            echo "Narf!";
        }
    ?>

If you select $files as $file, starting at the end, it will look like you selected $files as $file).

Would it be possible to use a different color to highlight either the selection or the enclosure highlighting?

The colors for diffs aren't themed, so text is hard or impossible to read in diff lines.

I'm not sure which ones yet, since it's somewhat difficult to suss them out, but some forms of highlighting (such as light yellow) make it impossible to read light text.

I found Solarized very interesting and was happy to see there is ready Netbeans color settings. But I got upset after importing the settings when I saw editor font changed to non-monospace font. Should fonts be monospace according to Solarized?

After downloading the zip, I went into Netbeans >> Tools >> Options >> Import and browsed to the zip file. The dropdown to select available options to import however remains blank hence nothing is imported. Any ideas?

Hi Magic constants are displayed as white text in solarized light. Is this a Netbeans limitation or just a bug? I use Netbeans 7.

Wrong description:

Download the zipped version of this repo.

Github creates archive with folder inside, so archive looks like:

fentie-netbeans-colors-solarized-434588a.zip
--fentie-netbeans-colors-solarized-434588a
----config
----README.md

but netbeans uses another structure:

archive.zip
--config

Solution: extract default github archive and compress "config" folder to .zip archive

Netbeans will highlight multiple occurrences of a variable or other elements when the caret sits on one for more than a moment. This theme has the color for that highlight set to inherit which means it isn't visible.

On my own copy I've set it to be the same as the 'Highlight Search' background - rgb(56, 86, 111) - but I suppose anything gives good contrast would work well.

I don't know if other languages need a similar fix or not.

Netbeans 7.3 don't work with .zip files and need xml to configure the plugin
