Netbeans 3.5 to 4.1

Hello All.

I just upgraded from Netbeans 3.5 to 4.1. It's pretty snazzy.
A couple of things I'm wondering if I can change are the default
white IDE theme to something a little more soothing on the eyes,
and get the compiler to stop opening an output tab everytime I
compile. I found the "Ant reuse output tab setting" but I want
it to just use the same output tab all the time so I don't have
to go and close a whole bunch of output tabs every few minutes.
Anyone know to accomplish any of this?

Thanks,
bl8n8r

Go to "Tools", "Options", "Editing", "Editor Settings", "Java Editor",
"Fonts and Colors" (click the button there) when "Default" is
selected. It seems you have to change for each editor, though.

What I mean is the rest of the IDE besides the java editor colors. I
probably need to use one of those Look and Feel "skins" but thought I
would look for an easy setting in the IDE first.
