Description Jan Peska 2013-08-05 14:24:39 UTC 
There are several "text-like" icons in the IDE (e.g. an image of a letter) which are almost unreadable. After a discussion with Petr Somol we propose following solution:

Create a whitelist of specific "text-like" icons which are hard to read and apply "dark metal inverting" algorithm on them.
Comment 1 Jan Peska 2013-08-05 14:25:29 UTC 
Assigning to Standa since he will be most likely the one who will implement it.
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2013-08-23 13:53:14 UTC 
Dark themes were moved to the NetBeans Update Center for NB 7.4

core-main 6b7b7ab4e926

If an image doesn't fit in a dark color schema there's an option provide an alternate image with <original name>_dark.<original ext> file name. When the IDE is running under a dark look and feel the ImageUtilities will load it instead of the default one.
