System Tray Quality Issue in Linux

807589Nov 22 2008 — edited Dec 29 2008
I am using the below to place an icon (image) in the system tray:

(cut out the non revelent stuff of course)
SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "Tray Demo", popup);
It works and looks great in windows. the image is the correct size and the transparency works.

Linux is another story, it shows in the system tray, but the icon is zoomed in/enlarged and the transparency does NOT work.

It just looks horrible.

Is there anything i can do to improve upon this?

is doing this through JDIC any different?

Let me know what you think, google has failed me so far in finding the solution.
