Re: Multi-size, Multi-Bit depth icons

On 15 Jul, Frater Reklaw shouted:
->  I just compiled the panel out of CVS. Some of the small icons on the
->  menu look terrible because the resizing. Would it be possible for
->  GNOME to start a new icon format which at least supports multiple
->  sizes of icons and possibly multiple bit depths of icons. 

1. mutliple bit depths isn't needed - imlbi handles this transparently.
2. multiple sizes arent much use - imlib scales if asked to. :)
3. if you MUST have multiple sizes (or multiple states or images in a
single file) imlib alreday has support for the EIM format whihc allows
this (it can load AND save/append images to EIM files).

->  Do the *.desktop have/use icons entries for multiple sizes. 
->  
->  Creating a new format would require changes to graphics programs (and
->  imlib) whereas multiple entries would require keeping track of more
->  files.

->  just throwing out ideas,
