Description

When installing the IDE version 10.0 when 9.0 is still installed and has been running fine on the same computer, version 10 has enlarged icons, resulting in aliasing artifacts. The images look blurred and everything is just too big. Please refer to attached images.

Generally, all fonts seem to be enlarged relative to version 9.0.

On startup, the logo is enlarged also. So it is perhaps something that needs to be set differently in etc/netbeans.conf?

The only differences I can see in netbeans.conf are:

10.0 has: -J-Djdk.gtk.version=2.2

9.0 has: -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true
