Hi, David Dean here. I've subscribed to this list now :) .
Anyway, the classic.small icons are one of the icon sets that gosmore uses, and tend to look very messy with white squares around them. I'll look into adding a border around some of the problem cases so they will display well on black backgrounds. I'll make a start on them today. Which icons in particular are causing the most problems? Sorry about the mixup. - David Ulf Lamping-2 wrote: > > Matthias Julius schrieb: >> >> Are these icons primarly meant to be for JOSM? > > The "classic.small" theme: yes (at least don't know other programs using > it) > > All other themes (classic.big, svg, ...): no > >> >> If you allow transparency in icons you have a problem anyway since you >> are not in control of the background color.
