What I do not like in SQL developer is its look and feel and fonts in it, which look so ugly. You can change the theme of developer to windows in windows which makes a bit better. But, in Linux there’s no choice. You have to work with Oracle theme.
Here is how I made it look a bit better for me.
Modify sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf to add below line:
AddVMOption -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on AddVMOption -Dswing.aatext=true AddVMOption -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont="Droid Sans-13" AddVMOption -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont="Droid Sans-13" AddVMOption -Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont="Droid Sans-13"Instead of “Droid Sans” you can use and test whatever font you like.
Here is a before and after snapshot of my SQLDeveloper.
And, here is my sqldeveloper.conf after changes:
IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf SetJavaHome ../../jdk AddVMOption -Doracle.ide.util.AddinPolicyUtils.OVERRIDE_FLAG=true AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false AddVMOption -Dwindows.shell.font.languages= AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=256M AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp=false AddVMOption -Doracle.ide.startup.features=sqldeveloper AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.autoCommitSpecCompliant=false #Our location for the NLS jars AddJavaLibFile ../../jlib/orai18n-collation.jar AddJavaLibFile ../../jlib/orai18n-mapping.jar AddJavaLibFile ../../jlib/orai18n-servlet.jar AddJavaLibFile ../../jlib/orai18n-utility.jar AddJavaLibFile ../../jlib/orai18n.jar IncludeConfFile sqldeveloper-nondebug.conf AddVMOption -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on AddVMOption -Dswing.aatext=true AddVMOption -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont="Droid Sans-13" AddVMOption -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont="Droid Sans-13" AddVMOption -Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont="Droid Sans-13"
