[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-3785) Make memory gauge look better, especially on HiDPI displays

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3785?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17028768#comment-17028768 ] 

Peter Hull commented on NETBEANS-3785:
--------------------------------------

For information: a workround suggested by David Green on the mailing list is:
{noformat}
I mitigate most of it by right-clicking on the image and choosing to
disable “drop shadow”.{noformat}
The relevant code for rendering the text with drop shadow is here:

[https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/820a688606a3777c673ab6cfb3d6638fe87471cc/platform/openide.actions/src/org/openide/actions/HeapView.java#L638-L680]

(there is a different code path when no drop shadow)

> Scott Palmer writes: "Does anyone else see really ugly text in the memory usage widget on the toolbar?  This has been an issue for a while and I can’t recall if I have reported it or it is already a known issue.  It seems like something that shouldn’t be hard to address.  The text showing heap used vs available heap is rendered in such a way that the letters are very puffy and jagged.  Almost like any anti-aliasing that would be blending the edges has the alpha channel interpreted as a binary 0% or 100% opacity.  I’ve attached an image, not sure if it will are it through. I’m testing NB 11.3-beta 2 with JDK 13.0.2 on macOS 10.15.3 (beta)"
> Eirik Bakke confirms that this has been an issue for a long time. In particular, the memory gauge should be updated to look good on HiDPI/Retina displays.
