Regarding the discussion around the icons?

How about using SVG icons instead of fixed size png icons? That way one
could easily scale the icon sizes on different devices to the preferred
scale and taste of the user.

From my test and literature I found that simple vector scaling for small size icons (16x16 - 24-24) is not recommended. For higher images blur effect is not so visible and important.

Are there any technical reasons for using PNGs instead of SVGs? I
believe the source of the icons is SVG anyway?

For my own in house python plugins I always use the SVG icons.

The main technical reason was image quality. We decided to use already rendered images in "native resolution". I know it sounds stupid in Scalable Vector ... context, but that's the reality. Whole version 0.1 of GIS icons was designed in just one SVG file. In version 0.2 I save them in separate files. So most of the icons is at the moment available as one file per icon.

regards,
Robert

Andreas
