Be Quicker

In response to a comment on the post “jEdit Plugins - Recommended list“, let me tell you how to change the icons that are used in jEdit. In my opinion, changing the look and feel for jEdit in a way that makes it a little better looking. Not that I mind the default black and gray icons, of course.

Anyway, this process isn’t a difficult one, and might take you all of 2 minutes, if you work slowly. So, here goes:

1 - Go to this page on the jEdit Community site, and choose your look and feel.

For this example, let’s use the “Nuvola 1.0 based Icon Set”, as that’s the one I’m currently using

2 - Once you’ve downloaded the zip file (in this case), unzip it, and open the “README.txt” file

3 - Follow the instructions in this file.

To show you how easy the instructions in the “README.txt” file, here’s what it says:

INSTALL
——-

1) Copy nicons.jar into the JEdit’s “jars” folder
2) Copy nicons.bsh into the Jedit’s “startup” folder
3) Restart JEdit
4) Enjoy

And, that would be it.
