Small and large don't have any special meanings for HiDPI. They are
some conditional sizes established by the native platform for the
current screen resolution.
The question what is the current screens resolution when you have two
screens?
We should relay on the native platform always. So, the icon size
returned by the native API is the correct approach. And possibility to
use any other sizes is provided as well.
Why is it half of the correct size? It is the same size as for
non-HiDPI and that is the correct size because otherwise java UI
component that is HiDPI unaware would paint icons 2 times bigger in
size than it is required. But the resolution of small/large icons may
differs in case of HiDPI because it is determined by the size of the
images returned by the native platform by the small/large icon queries.
It is half of the correct size because on HiDPI it is better to use
hidpi icons instead of lowdpi. Will the HiDPI unaware apps draw x2
icons correctly or not depends from our implementation. If we will
return the MRI then it will be drawn in correct size even if the
bigger(HiDPI) image will be used.
This is not true. MRI has a basic size which uniquely determines its
painted size in component coordinates. The size painted in component
will be the same for all scales this is how HiDPI works in java.
For example one of the consumer of this new API is WindowsFileView.
How the code below should be changed to work on a different screens,
and request the proper icon?
WindowsFileChooserUI.java
1316 icon = getFileChooser().getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(f);
Why it should be changed? The code is requesting the proper icon.
Because this method returns an icon of 16x16 pixels, which will be
rescaled to 32x32 pixels in paint operation.
The size should be equal 16x16 otherwise the component view will be
distorted. But painted resolution is determined by native platform. The
native platform may return icon of any size. If the size of the icon
differs from 16x16 (32x32 for example) then it will be wrapped by MRI of
16x16 size.
