Hi Eirik,
thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately the windows compatibility option are grayed out on my
machine (probably some restriction by the company).
The github links seems only to refer to the windows (and MacOs) look and
feel, is there any project to convert also the netbeans icons (open
project, new project etc.)?
If yes maybe I can contribute.
Thanks.

The above trick will make text sharp--though icons will still be
blurry. If you want everything to be sharp (but tiny), you can run
NetBeans to Java 8, or disable HiDPI scaling in the windows "Display"
settings (set "Scale and Layout" to 100%). The command-line Java
parameter should probably also work; not sure its exact setting (would
have to be set in netbeans.conf).
There is some work in progress on improving HiDPI support in future

*Subject:* How to avoid the scaling of icons on NetBeans 9?
Hi, I have a problem with the graphic on Netbeans 9.
My monitor resolution is 2560x1440 and Netbeans scales up the icons
and the splashscreen to have a size similar to the one of a 1080
resolution monitor. This causes that they are pixelated and undefined.
I tried to set the parameter -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware to both true and
false but I don't see any difference.
This is my NB 9 configuration:
*Product Version:* Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 (Build
incubator-netbeans-release-334-on-20180708)
*Java:* 10.0.2; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 10.0.2+13
*Runtime:* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 10.0.2+13
*System:* Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_IE (nb)
The problem doesn't occur on Netbeans 8 on which the icons are smaller
to respect the screen resolution but appear clear and well defined
*Product Version:* NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201705191307)
*Updates:* NetBeans IDE is updated to version NetBeans 8.2 Patch
2<http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeans8.2PatchesInfo>
*Java:* 1.8.0_172; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.172-b11
*Runtime:* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_172-b11
*System:* Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_IE (nb)
Do you have any suggestion to obtain the same result (smaller and well
defined icons) on NB 9?
Thanks in advance,
best regards
