> Prioritize icons to vectorize for HiDPI support
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-2605
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2605
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: platform - Other
> Affects Versions: 11.0
> Reporter: Eirik Bakke
> Priority: Major
> Labels: HiDPI
> Attachments: Prioritization Indication.png, effort_required.png
>
>
> As part of the higher-level
> [effort|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/HiDPI+%28Retina%29+improvements]
> to support HiDPI for the NetBeans IDE and for NetBeans Platform
> applications, a commonly used subset of icons should be recreated using the
> scalable SVG format (see NETBEANS-2604).
> As of 2019-05-27, there are 2740 unique files with extension 'png' or 'gif'
> in non-test sources in the [NetBeans codebase's master
> branch|https://github.com/apache/netbeans]. The page at
> https://people.csail.mit.edu/ebakke/misc/netbeans-icons shows all of these
> images. When there are multiple files with the same SHA256 checksum, only one
> is shown.
> 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]).
> Thus it's infeasible to do this for every icon in the codebase. Instead,
> icons commonly seen on the screen during a typical NetBeans IDE session
> should be prioritized.
> This issue tracks the task of providing a prioritized list of icons (with
> file names) for which we should try to provide SVG versions. For example, in
> prioritized order:
> # Every icon in the editor toolbar
> # Every icon in the application toolbar, with default NetBeans settings.
> # Icons used in the menu bar menus.
> # Any other icon seen on the screen when a blank NetBeans IDE installation is
> started up.
> # Icons shown in the Projects pane when working with a simple Java project.
> # Icons shown in the Projects pane when working with a Java project in a git
> repository.
> # etc.
