Resolution of Images in Swing
Whenever I add ImageIcons to my GUI using swing, they always are kinda pixelated. If I use pngs with higher resolution instead, they also appear bigger, and I can't manage to scale it down while keeping a high resolution.
Do I miss anything here?
attached is a screenshot from an icon in my gui in 1:1 scale, you easily can see how pixelated it is

maybe try vector graphics
I don't think so, it's 142.12 if I calculated correctly
ah yeah so 150% zoom probably
That's an annoying dpi to have icons for
JavaFX for example supports 2x and 3x images
is there anything I can try to fix it using swing? I build my whole gui using swing and don't rly want to start all over again
I don't immediately know, my guess is try to use something like fontawesome or equivalent to have "font" based icons
I just tried, it's also not rly perfect but at least a little better so I'll go with that, thx
