Theming of LaF components with JSON properties

[j-dimension]

Isn't that a core concept of JavaFX?

@j-dimension could be, but I figured it out, that this is still possible with FlatLaf via Themes: https://github.com/mallowigi/material-theme-ui-lite/blob/master/src/main/resources/themes/Material%20Darker%20Contrast.theme.json so how can we achieve that in for example NetBeans? ;) @DevCharly Atm the problem of NetBeans is, that we need to restart after we change the look and feel. This is not that nice, if the IDE starts and needs some couple of time to open the projects and reindexing and and and. So I know that IntelliJ doesn't have this problem so it would be great if we can have this for NetBeans too.

I know this repo is independent from NetBeans, but I saw the demo and it was like WOW, no restart of the demo app, after changeing a theme. And this is the exact behaviour that I wanted to have for my favorite IDE :)

I already created a ticket for that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3746
