Image of problem

The icons which allow you to adjust the sizes of components and align them are so blurred and fuzzy that you cannot determine their function without hovering over them with the mouse to view the tooltip.

I saw reference to a version 1.9.3 which I thought might fix the problem but I could not find any link to install it.
Comment 1 Wim Jongman CLA 2019-09-29 10:56:53 EDT
Hi, there is no 1.9.3. Are you running a large resolution on a hiDPI monitor?
Comment 2 David Garratt CLA 2019-09-29 12:19:26 EDT
1.9.2 running on Eclipse 2019-03 on same monitor is ok.

Comment 4 Wim Jongman CLA 2019-09-29 14:56:52 EDT
I see differences in the UI theme used between the two screenshots. Could this cause it?

You can see the same problem with the image here.

Is there any more information I need to provide to help resolve this issue ?
Comment 9 David Garratt CLA 2019-10-08 12:36:47 EDT
I've made a few tests although I don't know enough about WindowBuiler Pro behind the scenes workings to understand what the results may mean.

I created a new install of MacOS running in a Parallels VM machine. I decided to apply the update to Catalina.

I installed Eclipse 2019 09 R and WindowBuilder Pro 192.

Parallels Tools were installed.

I created a simple test project with WB and the toolbar appeared as normal.

I then returned to my host Mac and experimented running Eclipse with different screen resolutions. None of them worked without the previously described icon problem.

Suspecting some issue with the screen resolution or at least the plugin's ability to determine the correct resolution I then used AirPlay to project my laptops screen to a HD TV.

I then found that WB could not render the GUI which it had previously created. On turning off airplay WB could render the GUI but still has the Icon problem.

Given that Eclipse 2019-03 works fine on the same Mac I am inclined to think something has change there but cannot determine what do try next.
Comment 10 David Garratt CLA 2019-10-08 12:44:51 EDT
The problem appears to have been introduced with 2019-06 as both 2019-06 and 09 are effected whereas 2019-03 is ok.
Comment 11 Wim Jongman CLA 2019-10-11 03:29:53 EDT
It looks like this bug 549210.
Comment 12 David Garratt CLA 2019-10-11 03:36:18 EDT
Agreed - however I'm not sure i understand the text of the other bug report to know if it contains a fix that I can apply myself of if I need to wait for a new version of eclipse to include the fix.
Comment 13 Wim Jongman CLA 2019-10-11 03:40:38 EDT
The bug report states it is fixed in 4.13M3 which is 2019-09. 

Are you working with an official 2019-09 build? Please go to the quick access bar and type "copy build id to clipboard" and paste the contents here.

There is. I want to take a look at your plugin versions.

Please go to Help/About/Installation Details(button)/Configuration(tab)

I am interested in the following sections:

*** Features:
*** Plug-in Registry:

Please attach them in a text file.

Lars, I recall you mentioning something recently about WD dark theme and styling. Is this what you see?
Comment 24 David Garratt CLA 2020-01-03 16:38:58 EST
Just wondering if there has been any progress. Only some of the images appear to be wrong and they all look ok on an earlier version of Eclipse. Would it be possible to compare the properties of the images which look ok with the ones which don't ?

Dark Mode Eclipse with WBP 1.9.2

Dark mode helps with some of the WBP icons but the pallet still has issues
