GlassFish V3 Prelude Admin GUI Blurry Icons in Netbeans 6.5

I’ve just downloaded Netbeans 6.5 and GlassFish V3 Prelude bundle from Netbeans.org and I notice that “Registration” icon, and “Update Tool” icon are very blurry in Admin Console GUI.
Here is my machine spec.
Windows XP, sp 2
IE 6, sp2
BTW, those icons show up fine in my FireFox and also in IE 7

So far I am liking Netbeans 6.5 and V3 released alot. I am amazed to see how fast Netbeans loads in 6.5 released. It is almost as fast as opening up a Textpad. I was also able to do a clean and build without stop the app server. My favorite so far is auto Compile on Save, I think it will speed up some development time. For V3, I wish there were Stop and Start button in Admin Gui to stop and start the server but I guess, I have to wait till the next version get released. Pretty soon I will be looking for ICEfaces, Facelets and Maven’s plugin for Netbeans 6.5

ICEfaces Blog Winner, this is awesome!

Recently, ICEfaces.org hunted for a Blogger with a blog about the ICEfaces framework. I casually submitted my blog url to and won a $500.00 Visa Card.  I feel lucky, fortunate, and am extremely flattered by the honor and I cannot thank ICEfaces enough for running the contest to reward its community developers (and me in particular). It proves how much ICEfaces cares about their open source projects and how close they are to developers who uses their souped up framework with a great success.
