[Windows Hi-DPI] Program icons have black background

Windows 10/11
Eclipse 4.28
Windows hi-dpi scaling at 200%.

Some program icons in Package Explorer and Project Explorer have a black background:

Sometimes, the icons render correctly.

I can't reproduce this with a stand-alone SWT snippet so it seems to suggest that it's caused by Eclipse doing things in a certain order, or something else affects it in the UI.

Hi @Phillipus,
For me this looks to be similar issue reported in pr #409. Can you please review that issue if that might give you some clue towards this problem.
Thanks

Hi @deepika-u I tested running a child Eclipse with the SWT PR (and the PR in Platform UI) but, unfortunately, the program icons still have a black background.

I think it's related to #185

I think it's related to #185

Actually, it's not a recent regression. The problem exists in Eclipse 4.8 (June 2018)

Yes, this is quite an old problem. BTW, I think these come from org.eclipse.swt.program.Program.getPrograms() and from there via org.eclipse.swt.program.Program.getImageData() which works it's way tout of org.eclipse.ui.internal.misc.ExternalProgramImageDescriptor.getImageData() eventually. Unfortunately org.eclipse.swt.tests.win32.snippets.SWTIssue185.createImages(Display, String...) does not not reproduce the problem.

....does not not reproduce the problem.

And I can't reproduce it in a stand-alone SWT snippet. And the infuriating thing is (in terms of debugging) is that sometimes the icons render OK!

In the org.eclipse.swt.program.Program class starting at line 363:

public ImageData getImageData () {
	if (extension != null) {
		SHFILEINFO shfi = new SHFILEINFO ();
		int flags = OS.SHGFI_ICON | OS.SHGFI_SMALLICON | OS.SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES;
...

If I change line 366 to one of the following the icon is displayed correctly:

int flags = OS.SHGFI_SMALLICON | OS.SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES;

int flags = OS.SHGFI_ICON | OS.SHGFI_SMALLICON;

int flags = OS.SHGFI_SMALLICON;

I've no idea what those flags mean or why this should be the case, but maybe a clue there?

In fact, if I comment out all of this, it works:

if (extension != null) {
	SHFILEINFO shfi = new SHFILEINFO ();
	int flags = OS.SHGFI_ICON | OS.SHGFI_SMALLICON | OS.SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES;
	TCHAR pszPath = new TCHAR (0, extension, true);
	OS.SHGetFileInfo (pszPath.chars, OS.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, shfi, SHFILEINFO.sizeof, flags);
	if (shfi.hIcon != 0) {
		Image image = Image.win32_new (null, SWT.ICON, shfi.hIcon);
		/* Fetch the ImageData at 100% zoom and return */
		ImageData imageData = image.getImageData ();
		image.dispose ();
		return imageData;
	}
}

Hi, I tried the below images in the snippet. Please check if you are able to recreate the problem with this snippet.

public class SWTIconExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display);
        shell.setText("Excel and Chrome Icons");
        shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, false));

        // Load the Excel icon
        Image excelIcon = new Image(display, "C:\\Users\\02236C744\\Desktop\\zoom_icons\\ExcelLogoSmall.scale-100.png");
        // Load the Chrome icon
        Image chromeIcon = new Image(display, "C:\\Users\\02236C744\\Desktop\\zoom_icons\\chrome.png");

        Image mswordIcon = new Image(display, "C:\\Users\\02236C744\\Desktop\\zoom_icons\\WinWordLogoSmall.scale-100.png");

        // Label to display the Excel icon
        Label excelLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
        excelLabel.setImage(excelIcon);
        excelLabel.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.CENTER, SWT.CENTER, true, true));

        // Label to display the Chrome icon
        Label chromeLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
        chromeLabel.setImage(chromeIcon);
        chromeLabel.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.CENTER, SWT.CENTER, true, true));

        // Label to display the Firefox icon
        Label firefoxLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
        firefoxLabel.setImage(firefoxIcon);
        firefoxLabel.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.CENTER, SWT.CENTER, true, true));

        // Label to display the Edge icon
        Label edgeLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
        edgeLabel.setImage(edgeIcon);
        edgeLabel.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.CENTER, SWT.CENTER, true, true));

        // Label to display the MSWord icon
        Label mswordLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
        mswordLabel.setImage(mswordIcon);
        mswordLabel.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.CENTER, SWT.CENTER, true, true));

        shell.pack();
        shell.open();

        while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
            if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
                display.sleep();
            }
        }

        // Remember to dispose of the images
        excelIcon.dispose();
        chromeIcon.dispose();
        firefoxIcon.dispose();
        edgeIcon.dispose();
        mswordIcon.dispose();
        display.dispose();
    }
}

I have picked the images at that path from below locations already existing in my windows 11 instance.
firefox => C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\VisualElements
excel, word => C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\LogoImages
chrome, edge => C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\sdxs\FA000000070\assets\src\assets\images
edge => C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\115.0.1901.203\VisualElements

Let me know if anyone is able to recreate the issue atleast i am not successful.

@deepika-u I can't reproduce this with a stand-alone snippet. As mentioned before it seems to depend on the order of events.

Hope this should help you recreate the problem.
