Hi there.

My name's John. I'm new. :)

I just wanted to tender a patch for an issue I've been having with the
NetBeans icon when displayed on my KDE Plasma desktop running under
Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

The problem is that I have my Task Manager widget set at about 200px
high. There's no problem when I have heaps of windows open, because in
that case each application gets an icon on a 'row'; but when there's
only one 'row' the application icons are huge, and when the application
icons are huge the NetBeans icon looks terrible.

I've taken some screen shots to illustrate the problem and my solution
over here:

The patch that works well enough for me is to comment out low resolution
images from the initFrameIcons() method in:

platform/core.windows/src/org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui/MainWindow.java

as:

 static void initFrameIcons(Frame f) {
   List currentIcons = f.getIconImages();
   if( !currentIcons.isEmpty() )
     return; //do not override icons if they have been already provided
elsewhere (JDev)
   f.setIconImages(Arrays.asList(
     // 2020-01-09 jj5 - OLD: removed low resolution icons...
     //ImageUtilities.loadImage(ICON_16, true),
     //ImageUtilities.loadImage(ICON_32, true),
     //ImageUtilities.loadImage(ICON_48, true),
     // 2020-01-09 jj5 - END
     ImageUtilities.loadImage(ICON_256, true),
     ImageUtilities.loadImage(ICON_512, true),
     ImageUtilities.loadImage(ICON_1024, true)));
 }

It is conceivable this patch will create an issue in other environments
(I'm not sure) but it worked okay for me on Ubuntu.

Regards,
John Elliot V
