Can not set Metal Colours anymore
Submitted by rovf on Tuesday, 22 January, 2019 - 09:58
I have the "Metal" plugin enabled, and no other plugin active, which might influence the user interface.

In the global settings, I have set "Swing look&feel" to "Metal".

Still, my settings in the Metal plugin (for example, Scrollbar color) don't have any effect.

This is jEdit 5.4.0 running on Windows 7.

Solved (Maybe a bug?)

A found a solution to the problem, though it looks like a bug to me.

Note that I originally also restarted jEdit, with no visible effect, so I tried now something different:

I first set the appearance to "Windows Classic", and after I applied this, I switched back to Metal" - and now, suddenly (and without additional restart needed), my metal settings became visible!!!
