Hey, I have noticed that a lot of freesites have images that point to http://127.0.0.1:8888/servlet/images/aqua/hops.gif or http://127.0.0.1:8888/servlet/images/aqua/hops.png .
Now freesites for the most part try to avoid using lots of images for small things, as downloading 50 files that are a few hundred bytes in length is very inefficient. This is also true to a lesser extent on the WWW. However we could include a large set of small stock images included with freenet ala hops.png then sites could reference these all they want and not have to download anything. This would mean freesites could be made to look pretty fancy without congesting the network. I'll volunteer to collect a set of freely distributable images that could be included in freenet, if it is agreed that they would be included in the next stable version of Freenet. This would include some fairly clear icons as well as assorted generic buttons and borders. Probably a bunch of simple gradients as those could be scaled by the browser to do fancy things... Now I'll admit that the problem may occur of everyone wanting 'their' image included. However if you set a hard size limit IE: The total zip file must remain less then 2MB, it won't be too much of an issue. Plus people could create their own alternet icon sets and simply replace the zipfile in their directory and theme ALL OF FREENET. I think that this would be a really good feature to have. (Assuming it doesn't degenerate into a famewar over which set of icons is 'best') _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
