There are over 3000 bitmap icon images in the NetBeans codebase. Probably at least several hundred of these are frequently seen by everyday NetBeans users. The page below shows all the unique "gif" or "png" files that existed in the NetBeans mercurial repo prior to the Apache transition:

I assume some were cobbled together from various sources, but on the other hand, many of the frequently visible ones (e.g. the ones in the toolbars) seem to follow a quite consistent visual style. (This question relates to the effort of making NetBeans look better on HiDPI/Retina screens; see separate email thread.) -- Eirik
