On lower-resolution screens the tip is too large relative to the splash.

On lower-resolution screens the tip is too large relative to the splash.

That would be due to the hints. What they do internally is essentially double the size of the render and scale it down. On HiDPI/Retina screens they show correctly. On "normal" screens they are twice the size.

Or that is my theory on it anyways.

Instead of rending to a Graphics context, why not render to a Swing object that can be inserted somewhere on the screen?

Originally I did that with a layeredpane but I was getting very bad aliasing and ugly stroke. This was the most visually pleasing approach.

The license header needs to be updated to the correct version and you'll need to update latest master into this and fix the calls to the Internationalization class to I18N.

Almost there.
