[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-67) Replace Java SplashScreen with a
custom window.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-67?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16837953#comment-16837953 ]
Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-67:
-------------------------------------
There's a PR for HiDPI support now at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1246 . Interestingly, I could not actually get the "-splash" parameter to work with HiDPI images on Windows 10, despite https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145173 saying that it's supposed to work. For that reason I actually had to disable the early splash feature when implementing HiDPI support in that PR.

> Unfortunately the Java SplashScreen feature is not well maintained. It looks really odd on Linux multi-monitor displays trying to arrange the screen on the middle of the two monitors. I think the intention of this Java feature was to create prompt response to the user on opening a Java application. Well disk and hardware get quicker and Java get leaner on load (with Java 9). This feature could be replaced by using a custom window instead.
> This would improve on two things:
> - Placement of the Splash Screen could be really multi-monitor aware
> - There is a flicker on startup for those who are upgrading from dev/release candidate to final release. The first image says developer version then it updates to release
> I'm trying to work something out. Though there is some chance to have some interference with the platform branding.
