Description jrb4257 2012-06-05 02:00:22 UTC 
The icon for the "New > Folder" context menu item is not loading, causing a default to be loaded that does not match the system LAF.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 Beta (Build 201205031832)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_25
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.0-b11
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2012-06-05 12:26:40 UTC 
The problem is in org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.NewFileIterator.folderIterator(), where iconBase="org/openide/loaders/defaultFolder.gif" is declared.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2012-06-05 18:27:33 UTC 
The icon _is_ loaded; it is defaultFolder.gif. Making this icon be L&F-sensitive is not practical using current APIs; would require some kind of UIManager-based URL protocol. Not worth the trouble.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2012-06-05 19:31:13 UTC 
Reporter writes (next time use Bugzilla please):
> The other icons match the LAF

No, all other template icons are hardcoded as well.

> ...why doesn't the GIF?

As in comment #2, it is impractical to make this icon change dynamically according to the selected L&F.

No, this is the generic folder icon in the NB sources. Actual folder nodes (e.g. in the Files tab) attempt to load a "folder" icon from UIManager.
