Eirik Bakke created NETBEANS-2617:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Redraw common icons in SVG
                 Key: NETBEANS-2617
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2617
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: platform - Other
    Affects Versions: 11.0

Once NETBEANS-2604 is done, we should start replacing commonly seen NetBeans icons with SVG versions, for improved appearance on Retina/HiDPI displays.

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]).

In NETBEANS-2605, the following prioritized list of icons to convert was produced:
