Window and DesktopApplicationContext should support
java.awt.Window.setIconImages() to display multi-resolution icons
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-477
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-477
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Wish
Components: wtk
Reporter: Dirk Moebius
Priority: Minor
DesktopApplicationContext currently sets the Window icon into the host frame
using java.awt.Window.setIconImage(Image). However, since Java6 there's a new
method called setIconImages(List<Image> icons) to set multi-resolution icons,
e.g. you can set a 16x16 icon for the window title bar, a 48x48 icon to be
shown in Microsoft Windows' task switcher, or a 64x64 icon to be shown in
Windows Vista/7 Aero task list. (It is up to the runtime implementation to
choose an appropriate icon from the list provided by setIconImages().)
Without the possibility to set multi-resolution icons the OS scales the image
either up or down to fit the current environment. This might lead to poor
results.
Suggestion: add a new method setIconImages(List<Image>) method to
pivot.wtk.Window and, if set, use it in DesktopApplicationContext. Or maybe add
setIconPictures(List<Picture>) to get around the issue of downcasting to
Picture in updateFrameTitleBar().
Thanks,
Dirk.
