Yeah I really like SVG graphics.... I looked into the Lubuntu icons
folder and saw that they are all svg files, so apparently LXDE does
indeed support svg. SVG has a lot of other great uses, like the web,
and integrating JavaScript directly into the SVG. If you like SVG
art, you should check out OpenClipArt.org
It might be worth submitting the icon set (once it is finished) to
Open Clip Art as long as it can be released as public domain.
I also might submit a Template, though I think it would be more
appropriate if Rafael submitted it, since he is the resident artist :)
Israel:
Java (a different language from JavaScript) cannot directly support
'.svg' graphics. The '.jpg' and '.png' work fine. This is true for
Java's Swing (and AWT) GUI. I don't know if the same is true for Spring.
I didn't know that about Java, that seems really unfortunate as SVG's
are great (they are vector based so the do not become pixelated). I am
not sure exactly what you are saying by your e-mail, though... Are you
saying the box icon theme should also have png files, or are you saying
that for web use it is not possible to use it with Java. I don't use
Java (yet), I use JavaScript, which can be coded directly into SVG
files, and can be used to manipulate the SVG, and whatever else... I
have only experimented a little with the capabilities, but since SVG is
in XML format, all JavaScript should theoretically be possible (even
calling an external script), though I have not tried this yet, though
maybe others on this list have and know whether it is possible or not.
Israel:
I was merely pointing out something surprising that I learned.
In attempting to display icons in a Java Swing application of installed
components, though most of the component had '.png' icons, some of them
had '.svg' icons. The '.svg' icons could not be displayed by the
application, but the '.png' icons were displayed properly. Fortunately,
most of the icons were '.png'.
In spite of the virtues of '.svg' icons you were pointing out, like with
so many things, there is a down-side, and the down-side here is
something few of you would likely be aware of.
