What behavior do you expect?
I expect good looking logos regardless of window size.
Could you, please, explain what is good looking in case if the window is narrow? I can not imagine another behavior even if not to mention that installer uses pure java for resizing.
I just file issues, you provide solutions, so answer for your question is your work :) Who said it's easy to create nice sizable window?
Michael, I can provide a solution when I understand the problem and the target. I don't understand what you want to see. Anyway for me there are two choices either to fix the window's size and don't allow to resize it or the current behavior. I can't fix non-existent issue. In this case I have to admit I don't see better solution for the picture resize then java suggests.
Logos should not be corrupted -- this is very simple rule and this is goal. You can see issue on attached screeshot. I believe there is person who provided design for you, so you can consult with.
Note that the background stretches just fine -- no serious artifacts are there. The logos, on the other hand should not scale at all, right.. So there should in fact be three image: the yellowish background and the java/sun logos, which should be painted on top of it. Curious, what would happen in the window size is decreased? Will the overflowing image data be hidden, or the image will scale as well?
I guess It can sort out the problem partially since such behavior is currently implemented in the common NetBeans installers. But background is different there. So I think there will be a problem if window size is very small (and one more bug from Michael). Need to check. And the logos should be repainted on transparent background. I'll see what I can do as soon as I have some time.
Yes, common NB installer works just fine and doesn't scale NB logo.
Afaik will be fixed in 6.9 with the new branding (Oracle-like) images. Yulia please mark as fixed when it is done.
