you can overwrite the logic with flags, in your case the easiest solution is probably to create two shortcuts for NetBeans, one which opens an instance which is meant to work on your large screen, and one which is meant to work on your lower res screen.

netbeans --fontsize 16

changes just the font size to 16 for example


netbeans -J-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

makes everything 2x larger

I am working with NB 18 on DELL laptop in two locations (1/2 day in each), where I am connecting laptop to external monitors.
My problem is that monitors have different resolutions.

  * 3840X2160
  * 1920X1200

When connected to a higher resolution monitor, fonts becoming small and uncomfortable.

Changing the font settings in Netbeans twice a day is cumbersome. Changing monitor setting is blocked by sysadmins.
Can I configure options to automatically adjust NB to monitor resolution?
