Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7100]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The icons on buttons on the top-right of the file chooser ("Up one level", "Create new folder", ...) do not render under Windows 7.  The button outlines themselves do render, however.



REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Comments
EVALUATION The current code cannot get resources with images under Windows 7. We should rewrite native code: use WinAPI instead of using resources of the Shell32.dll library.
