NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200702281900) 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b04 Linux version 2.6.17-11-generic running on i386 en_US (nb); UTF-8 Ubuntu 6.10, default theme setting. See attached screenshot. Some icons are prepared to be placed on white background. There is something like "white shadow" on different backgrounds and it simply looks bad.

Passing to icons providers and maintainers. Please assign further to Leos, thanks.
I believe these are the old "Metal L&F" folder icons. They should *not* be used on GTK. Use standard native folder icons.
Dafe, what's the point of this issue? Do we need some special icons for GTK? Or are you able to use native GTK icons? Last question - why is it assigned to me? :)
Milan, I really don't undertand and don't know, sorry - HIE should tell you. How is "standard native folder icon" that we should use defined? Where one can see and get such icon?
OK, we discussed off line with Milan, we checked SwingSet2 on Ubuntu, native Nautilus browser and here is what we have found: 1) Under GTK, Swing simply doesn't support icons in tree. Under other LFs, there are folder icons in standard JTree, but under GTK there is none. So we can't use native folder icons on GTK, because they are not reachable from java/swing. 2) As a result of 1), we are forced to use some our icon, which will always be only an approximation (because native folder icons are changing from theme to theme). Current icon is good enough IMHO, but there is little problem with "white shadow" which pchytil pointed at in very first comment. Suggested solution: Modify our icon, make these few white pixels transparent (if possible).
According to bug priority guidelines lowering prio to P4.

The new folder icon in nimbus colors and with transparent background is attached. Passing back to mkubec for implementation. Thanks.
