How to change NetBeans Font Size

I am in trouble because font size of the Project window, File window and Service window is small.

How can I change to larger size fonts?

I do not hope that font size in other parts will be changed. E.g. tool menu font size.

I am using:

  • Windows 7
  • NetBeans 7.2.1

Edit the netbeans.conf file (located in the /etc folder of your NetBeans installation), look for the line that starts with "netbeans_default_options=". Edit the fontsize parameter if present. If not, add something like "--fontsize 11" (without the quote) at the end of the line.
