[jira] [Updated] (NETBEANS-1583) Support MultiResolutionImage
loading from ImageUtilities
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1583?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Eirik Bakke updated NETBEANS-1583:
----------------------------------
Description:
To look good on HiDPI/Retina displays, the NetBeans IDE, and NetBeans Platform (RCP), applications will eventually need to provide high-resolution versions of various image asset (typically icons). In Swing, multi-resolution image assets are supported via the MultiResolutionImage class; such images are automatically loaded by methods such as Toolkit.getImage based on a standard naming convention. For instance, on MacOS, Toolkit.getImage("myicon.png") will also load the file "myicon@2x.png" if present, returning a MultiResolutionImage (see [https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8011059] ). NetBeans' ImageUtilities.loadImage and friends should do the same.
The same naming convention for multi-resolution image assets should be used as in the JDK. See Philip Race's comment on [https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151787] :
{quote}The proposed name convention for splash screens *and* other multi-res images is @125pct @150pct @200pct @2x @250pct @300pct @3x
ie @2x and @3x are supported as synonyms for @200pct and @300pct respectively and also because we already supported @2x on retina Mac.
{quote}
(On the naming convention, see also https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8090575 )
As far as I know, only MacOS currently supports the automatic loading of such assets via Toolkit.getImage, but both Windows and MacOS (and Linux?) support the underlying MultiResolutionImage. So it's already possible to implement this on the latest JDK. Note, however, that we should probably wait for https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212226 to be fixed before enabling this on Windows.
