Hi all,
Web icon fonts seem to be the new trend (nice article:
http://alistapart.com/article/the-era-of-symbol-fonts) regarding further
optimization of image loading performance and also image quality (i.e.
vector vs raster images), especially needed for the higher (retina, 4k)
screen resolutions of today's desktop hardware.
This is why I really like Dietrichs' last idea of using web icon fonts:
Another idea I had is to use pseudo elements :after and :before and to

I think SQ had a similar idea in the thread named:
[qooxdoo-devel] FontAwesome font icons for qx.Desktop.
Once I am able to patch qx.basic.Image to use symbol fonts rather than
(png) images, I will post my results on the other thread!
