             Summary: HiDPI icons for window system icons on Linux
                 Key: NETBEANS-1582
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1582
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: platform - Window System
         Environment: Linux
            Reporter: Eirik Bakke


To look good on HiDPI displays on Linux, the various icons that are part of 
NetBeans' window system must be made scalable to arbitrary resolutions. This 
includes, for instance, the "X" button that is used to close tabs, the "_" 
button that collapses a sidebar, or the ">>" button that shows hidden toolbar 
icons. These icons reside in the tabcontrol and openide.awt modules.

The pull request at [https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/859] 
already did this work for the MacOS and Windows LAFs (see NETBEANS-1260 and 
NETBEANS-1238, respectively). Using the same approach, it should now be 
relatively easy to do the same on Linux. Or more specifically, whichever LAF is 
the default on, say, Ubuntu (I'm not sure myself).

(The author of the PR above does not have a Linux machine handily available, 
and so only did the work for Windows and MacOS. Note that these icons are more 
or less the only ones that are different from one LAF to another.)
