<AWT Dev> RFR: 8182043 Access to Windows Large Icons

[Alexander Zuev]

Hi Eric,

   thanks for pointing it out, i'm aware of this issue but i don't think 
it will affect me in this case,
mostly because despite the name this instance of multi resolution image 
icon contains only one
resolution variant. I have tested it with the setup haveing two displays 
with different scaling
factor and haven't seen any errors. But yes - the mentioned bug has to 
be fixed some time soon.
