Re-doing the images was necessary because they were obviously applets and extremely dated, so they are better (IMO) and good enough. I just figured out how to do the screen capture without the corners. macOS screen capture included a massive shadow that doubled the size. There's a trick (or two) (1) Cmd-Shift-4 to enable screen capture (2) Space to say you want to capture a specific window (3) Option-Enter or Option-Left-Click will capture WITHOUT the shadow (phew) I'll upload new images If you want to do more in a follow-up fix, that's fine, although I am not sure about Windows 10 .. as its already on the way out. I'm also not sure about any scaling of Windows 10 rendering as it will have LCD text which is notoriously bad when scaled. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25278#issuecomment-2895747242
