What if we bundled SVG files with Eclipse, then on first startup with a given resolution we lazily render them to PNGs with the appropriate detail. When Eclipse launches, it would use the .PNGs from the cache.
It could take a really long time for the first launch, but subsequent restarts should be fairly quick since it would just be loading .PNGs from then on. - Stefan On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 9:15 AM Mickael Istria <mist...@redhat.com> wrote: > On 09/21/2016 06:09 PM, Antoine THOMAS wrote: > > Other questions: > - Why render svg files in bitmap? > - Why not use svg icons in platform?
