Description

To look good on MacBook Pro and other Apple computers with Retina screens, the various icons that are part of NetBeans' window system must be made available in both 100% and 200% sizes. This includes, for instance, the "X" button that is used to close tabs, the "_" button that collapses a sidebar, or the ">>" button that shows hidden toolbar icons. These icons reside in the tabcontrol and openide.awt modules.

I'll soon submit a pull request that fixes this by providing vectorized versions of the relevant window system icons. The approach is the same as is taken for the Windows LAF, in NETBEANS-1238.
