Maybe they are not only there to click on? Are they not also a tool for
organising the visiual view and to give an impression?
The term "icon" normally means an image that you click on and it does
something. Images that aren't used this way usually aren't called
"icons".
On w32 the icons would be stored in emacs.exe and emacsclient.exe. Those
icon then shows up in a lot of situations:
1) When you view a w32 directory list or file box that includes them.
2) When you view any such list or file box with files that are
"associated" with any of those exe files. Clicking on them will
(hopefully) take the action tied to the association (like opening the
files with emacsclient).
I think I understand now. Thanks for the explanation. It sounds like
these ARE icons, in the sense I thought the word meant; clicking on
these images opens or activates the files, right?
I don't think Emacs should features on Windows that are not supported
on GNU/Linux. That would distort Emacs into a Windows application
and defeat the purpose of our work.
Does GNOME have a similar feature which could use the same icons?
