Eirik Bakke updated NETBEANS-2617:
----------------------------------
Description:
Once NETBEANS-2604 is done, we should start replacing commonly seen NetBeans
icons with SVG versions, for improved appearance on Retina/HiDPI displays.
With some practice, it takes on average 30 minutes to create an SVG version of
a typical icon in Adobe Illustrator. See the attached illustration, and [this
Illustrator
template|https://people.csail.mit.edu/ebakke/misc/netbeans-icons/netbeans_icons_illustrator_template.ai].
The Illustrator template includes a few icons which have already been
converted.
In NETBEANS-2605, the following prioritized list of icons to convert was
produced:
https://people.csail.mit.edu/ebakke/misc/netbeans-icons/prioritized.html
By redrawing the most commonly seen icons first, we can get the greatest "bang
for the buck" in terms of improving NetBeans' appearance on HiDPI displays.
