Why would NetBeans not display correctly file names or other text in dialogs? - netbeans

While trying to make a new project in NetBeans 7.2.1 I've noticed that in the "New Project" dialog, after I select a category (Java, Java FX, Java Web, etc), the project types only show up as icons, the text becoming visible only after I click an icon.
Any idea of what could have caused this behavior?
I could post an image but I'm a new user and don't have enough points for that yet.
Here's a link, though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67586865#N08/8436549191/
Later edit: I've noticed this in other dialogs, too.

I just deactivated some of my plugins including Dark Nimbus Theme, and

It seems the graphical card driver had some problems, and have figured this out after strange behaviors appeared in other applications, too. After re-installing the driver everything went smoothly.

modified CSS3 codes working on IE, but not on Chrome

why does this happen? I'm using eclipse neon.1 and tried changing the color of the font in the CSS3 code and it worked on both internal browser and IE9, but not on chrome. I restarted the server a lot of times and even rebooted the computer but it still won't be applied on Chrome....
Right click on the text and go to inspect element, see if it shows newly applied style in styles section in developer tools. If not you may need to clear cache using Ctrl+Shift+Delete and reload the app.

Red code errors not showing up?

I am having trouble trying to activate(?) red error codes in MyEclipse Pro 2014 (I have the same problem in Eclipse Luna). I just downloaded it today and whenever I make an error, even on purpose like a misspelled keyword, MyEclipse won't show red marks on the side like how IDEs usually do. Is there any way I can fix this? Also, content assist doesn't work for me neither. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Check that you have the Java editor configured in preferences, file associations, as the default editor for Java files. If you're using the text editor, then content assist won't be available although errors should show up after saving the file. However, if you have disabled or removed the Java builder (in the project's properties Builders page), then no marks will show up. Try a new project in a new workspace to check if the problem persists.

SoapUI Eclipse Plugin Freezes

I'm using soapUI eclipse plugin.
I open soapUI Navigator and create a new project. On the new project screen, I choose the location of the wsdl to generate test cases from.
After I click 'OK', the plugin starts loading the definitions. This is when it freezes.
I wasn't able to find any thing on the internet besides this 3 year old bug (which is the exact same issue I'm having, you can also see the screen shot of it): http://sourceforge.net/p/soapui/bugs/522/
Does any one know any information regarding what causes it, is there a way around, etc.
I'm inside a corporate network, can access internet fine, but there are firewall restrictions etc.
I use eclipse Soupui plugin version 4.0.1 and it works fine.

gwt4nb; running new project = blank page

I'm using gwt-2.4.0, netbeans 7.0.1, and I have GWT4NB installed.
I create a new project using "Java Web Application" project wizard, and I add the "Google Web Toolkit" framework when asked to add frameworks. The GWT installation folder is selected, and I choose a name for GWT Module etc etc etc.
After all that, I then debug the project, and get nothing but a blank page in my browser window. When I adjust the "title" tag in the "welcomeGWT.html" file and reload the page, that takes effect, but nothing in the EntryPoint class works...
I remember having this problem before (about 2 years ago when I started a previous project), and I thought I fixed that by adjusting something in one the configuration files, but I can't seem to track it down now.
So it's a brand new project, no code added or anything, and it does "run" but the GWT stuff doesn't work. The "GWT Development Mode" window does appear, and I can click the "Launch Default Browser" button which does work, but again, only the "welcomeGWT.html" page loads. I don't see any logging tabs appear in the window either (like it does in my other GWT project).
Anybody have any ideas? I suspect it's just a configuration error... ?
Apparently gwt4nb doesn't support gwt 2.4 at this point; switching to gwt 2.0.2 which I also have installed works correctly.

"Eclipse for PHP Developers" highlight color

I've just installed Eclipse for PHP Developers and for the most part it works fine, but I seem to have a problem with the highlighter:
If you hold control and then roll-over a method, eclipse shows a pop-up of the first few lines of source of the method (That's obviously not as useful as JavaDoc, but whatever). The problem is that the background of this popup is black and I can't seem to figure out which preference to set to change this.
Bonus points, BTW, if you can tell me how to adjust the PHP Eclipse colors.
In the Eclipse Preferences, select PHP -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring to change the colors.
By the way... some people say Netbeans is much better for PHP development currently.
This is a bug which actually has to do with Ubuntu as well as Eclipse: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/540332
I've not gotten it to work locally yet, but this is a good head start.
