FileChooser on 2K Displays

Show all headers | View raw

Dear All,

Any idea how to make the Java Swing file chooser
look better on 2K displays where the windows
font scaling is > 125%?

I am using ordinary code such as:

     JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
     if (settings.currentdir != null)
        fc.setCurrentDirectory(new File(settings.currentdir));
     int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog((Window) holder);
     if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {


But the file chooser is only displaying tiny
icons, relatively small buttons. I am using
JDK 8. What is going wrong? (*)

Bye

(*) I manage to scale the icons and other stuff
for my own application by my code, so Swing can
definitely handle 2K displays.

Also the menu bar text and scroll bars are
automatically scaled, so I don't need any special
code there.
