Making IntelliJ Idea look more beautiful on Linux

IntelliJ Idea became my first choice for developing Java Applications. Unfortunately, since Ideas User Interface is programmed using Swing the rendering of fonts and other user interface components can cause problems on linux resulting in a totally ugly user interface.

After some time for searching for a solution i found a workaround which worked form me (Linux Crunchbang, IntelliJ Idea 12)

Adding the following two lines to your idea64.vmoptions file should do the trick:

-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd

-Dswing.aatext=true
