Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-2614:
---------------------------------------
Hi, Akshat. This patch is already applied to NetBeans 11.1, so if you just use
the latest version, it should work.
Note that icons will still appear a bit blurry on HiDPI monitors--but the
scaling looks a little better.
> Improve icon scaling on HiDPI displays, and prepare ImageUtilities for HiDPI
> icons.

> To look good on HiDPI/Retina displays, the NetBeans IDE, and NetBeans
> Platform (RCP) applications, will eventually need to provide high-resolution
> versions of various image asset (typically icons). In the shorter term, there
> are also a few tricks that can be applied to make the existing low-resolution
> icons render better on HiDPI monitors, such as setting
> RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC before painting each icon. See the
> attached before/after screenshots to see the difference (be sure to view the
> screenshots at 100% scaling).
> Throughout the NetBeans codebase, two different APIs are used interchangeably
> to represent icon: javax.swing.Icon and java.awt.Image. The NetBeans
> ImageUtilities class provides methods for loading either, and for converting
> instances of one to instances the other.
> Having now implementing scalable window system icons (NETBEANS-1238,
> NETBEANS-1260), prototype SVG icon loading (NETBEANS-2604), and a
> HiDPI-enabled splash screen ( https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1246 ),
> the following design seems the most feasible:
> # Scalable icon implementations (such as VectorIcon or a future SVGIcon)
> should be implemented as custom implementations of the javax.swing.Icon
> interface.
> # The various methods in ImageUtilities should be updated to preserve custom
> Icon instances even as an Icon is converted to an Image and back (i.e. make
> image2Icon(icon2image(icon)) reversible).
> # Other parts of the codebase should be updated as necessary to use
> ImageUtilities.image2Icon(image) instead of "new ImageIcon(image)", and to
> use "Icon.paintIcon" instead of "Graphics.drawImage". (Most of the IDE code
> already does the right thing.)
> This issue tracks the required changes to ImageUtilities, as well as the
> previously mentioned icon rendering improvements, which will serve as a
> visual demonstration that the right painting code is being invoked.
