I manually rendered bitmaps of the icons in Inkscape and then assembled them by hand in GIMP, hence the .xcf files. I tweaked the .svg files a little for each size, but as this is not really necessary, the .xcf files could be removed if the icons are generated directly from the .svg files with scripting. > Is there a reason to use 4bit and 32bit images?

Microsoft publishes guidelines for Windows icons: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997636.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511280.aspx For Windows XP the recommend icons are 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 sizes in 4-bit, 8-bit, and 32-bit bitmap variants. For Vista and later there should also be a 256x256 PNG icon. Matthew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
