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.

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 [this 
Illustrator 
template|https://people.csail.mit.edu/ebakke/misc/netbeans-icons/netbeans_icons_illustrator_template.ai].
 The Illustrator template includes a few icons which have already been 
converted.

In NETBEANS-2605, the following prioritized list of icons to convert was 
produced:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/HiDPI+%28Retina%29+improvements
