> 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.
