I can't say what it would take to get it committed as I have no say in that, but I have a few things I'm curious about: - Is there any particular reason to scale it to 237x237 pixels? (Note that there's no particular size it has to be: default is 239x239, FreeBSD is 237x237, TOG is 237x227, DEC is 195x120.) A straight-up conversion from GIF to XPM of the 200x130 logo would be within the standard range of sizes. - Would reducing the colors to more like 96-128 different ones be viable? (More colors do tend to make an image load slower, though this isn't *likely* to cause problems unless someone has X with 8- or 12-bit color.) - Is there a license that should be put in a comment there? (I don't see one on the art page, so probably not.) I suppose the converter probably doesn't support setting the background to " None" (XPM transparency); it's a nice touch in XPMs, but it's entirely optional.
