Re: New Gnumeric icon



Jody,

As I know, there is no need for icons with lower bit levels. Tango
Icon Theme Guidelines don't tell anything about icons with few colors
(and I never saw any recent app with someting like that).

Thank you.

I ended up using the debian 'icoutils' to merge the new tango icons
into a package for 1.7.11.  All the sizes are there, we're just
missing the lower bit levels.  Does anyone know how fallback is
handled in that case ?

(actually the current one I made some years ago has multiple size versions). The problem that is more difficult 
than writing such a program by myself is that I don't have the skill to make the edges of those graphics looks 
reasonably good after converting the original 8-bit transparent mask into 1-bit. And so I just used a pure black 
background to avoid having any transparency, which is not good. I think there's a bug in bugzilla regarding this 
and ends up with seeking a gnome artist to do the 1-bit alpha icon.
