Re: NB 8.2 Issues

Hi Benno,

Thanks for the reply.  My images are named the same as they have
always been and for which they worked in previous platforms. If
something changed that requires new image names I'd consider this a
regression.

However, my theme, while dark in nature, does not come up as a dark
look and feel (I don't set "nb.dark.theme").  Setting breakpoints in
Splash and ImageUtilities confirms that those code paths for dark
image loading are not used.

An interesting point is that the image I am seeing for the splash and
about screen is precisely the one shown in that wiki link.

It would be simpler if the problem was that I only saw one image (the
dev one), but what I'm seeing is the dev one first appear, then my own
image, on startup.  For the about screen, I only see the dev image.

I do see something interesting: in org.netbeans.core.startup.Splash, there is:

 if (!s.exists("splash.png")) {
                s.scheduleSave(this, "splash.png", false);
            }

Looking in my test user directory, in the cache is indeed a splash.png
with the dev image.

I looked through the commit
(http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/121baf524946) but nothing
there seems like it would  cause this behavior.

I also checked that the contents of the core_{BRANDING}.jar contains
my images and it does, which hints to me that the build process is
working alright.
