Normally, this problem is experienced by app developers who start working using Full HD or even 4K screens. If you work with NetBeans and it looks small on your screen, here you will learn how to increase or adjust the zoom in NetBeans if it looks small.
Why use NetBeans?
NetBeans is a free development environment, especially focused on the development of digital applications in the Java programming language. Counting on an important community that is constantly developing and growing, it has managed to maintain itself among one of the great tools in app development.
It is a totally free product and without any type of use restrictions. One of the main advantages offered by developing applications with NetBeans is that, by developing them in the Java programming language, it allows us to work based on modules.
Steps to increase resolution in NetBeans
To enlarge the font or the resolution of the letter you must do another procedure such as:
- First open the application and wait for everything to load completely.
- Once NetBeans is open, you must go to the ‘tools’ section and then on ‘options’.
- Continuing, you will go to the button that says ‘Font&Colors’, in this section you can change the font or size of the letter, the color and among other options.
If you follow these steps correctly, you will be able to solve the problem that NetBeans looks small, adjusting it just the way you want it and making it more comfortable for your app development work is possible and very simple.
Shortcut to increase resolution from the keyboard
If you want to enlarge your screen, for example like zooming in classes, you should hold down alt + the mouse scroll and then move it as you like, down or up, depending on how you feel most comfortable.
Adjust the zoom of my NetBeans
This is a very simple process and with this step by step it will be even more so, it is important that for this you have the latest version of NetBeans installed on your PC, so it is good to know how to install new programs on your PC simultaneously or individually .
- You will need to have the Notepad++ program installed on your PC.
- After you have Notepad++, you should make sure, as mentioned before, that you have the latest version of NetBeans.
- You will move to the directory where you installed NetBeans and then click on the “etc” key.
- Next you are going to open the NetBeans.conf file with the NotePad++ program
- When you have it open you will have to look for the following:
- -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true
- You must change the “true” and in its place you will put “false”. Once the process is done and finished, you will proceed to save it.
- Once the process is done, when you open NetBeans you will notice that the screen resolution has been adjusted.
NetBeans is a visual environment program that will help us program apps that are under development and use Java. This programming language currently enjoys a very good reputation, in addition there are many programmers worldwide, and also people who are learning to program from scratch, who prefer it over other languages.
For all the programmers who today want to start getting into this world, the world of multiplatform application development, without a doubt, one of their best options will be to try NetBeans.
The so-called “modules” are a set of software components, which allow easy expansion of applications by integrating new modules that are developed completely independently.
This allows developers to inherit, continue or improve the work of other fellow developers. This is a great advance for those developers who do not want to let an app die.
If the step by step was useful to you, please share it with your friends or fellow developers and continue to take full advantage of all the benefits of NetBeans.
