Description
This is a request to investigate a situation when on HiDPI display the HiDPI image is not provided by the user. In this case we will use lowDPI image, but it is unclear should the size of the image take into account the DPI of the screen.
On osx the size of the splash screen will be bigger (even if the image is lowDPI).

It is risky to fix it in JDK 9 because the native part is affected.

Low DPI images are not scaled on HiDPI displays. But HiDPI images are scaled for Low DPI displays automatically.

In case of OSX, the Styling is done natively and that manages the non-retina and retina images. Natively, non-retina images need to be scaled up or ideally a @2x image should be created for splash screen. Also, noned a displacement (as in not centered) display of splash screen for non-retina images in some cases.
