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.
h2. UPDATE: Progress is now tracked per [these 
instructions|https://github.com/apache/netbeans-tools/blob/master/icon-scripts/README.txt]
 in the netbeans-tools repository

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 
Illustrator template. The Illustrator template includes a few icons which have 
already been converted.

In NETBEANS-2605, a prioritized list of icons to convert was produced (now 
migrated to the Google Sheet above). 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. Once we have a batch of icons ready to 
integrate into the NetBeans repository, Eirik will redo the duplicate detection 
and ensure the SVGs end up in all relevant locations, and start creating pull 
requests.

See also the overview page for HiDPI improvements on 
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/HiDPI+%28Retina%29+improvements]
 .

The style guide and process notes has been moved to [this confluence 
page|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/SVG+Icon+Style+Guide+and+Process].
