I'm really wondering that people are creating the icons as bitmap
images. The major desktop environments under Gnu Linux (Gnome, KDE,
XFCE) are currently switching to vector based images (svg) and as far as
I know the next version of MS Windows will do so to. (Using a mangled
version of the open format svg which will differ just so much to be
incompatible)
Thanks for the information. I did not know that SVG was going to be used
everywhere. Then it looks like I good idea to make both bitmap and SVG
versions. Do you have any idea of how to handle this?
I have seen there is an SVG plugin for Gimp. However I do not know about
the internal format for Gimp, if that is a bitmap format and/or a vector
format. If Gimp can make both SVG files, png and w32 ico format files
from the same picture then we can solve this easily I guess. But that
depends on how well Gimp can handle this. There may of course also be
other options. Do you know anything about this?
