I've put some xpms and png icons for testing purposes on a box on my home network, accessible through https://iagorubio.net/scintilla/icons - as only ssl access is allowed, and this box is attached to a DSL line, expect it to be quite slow. Please ignore the certificate warnings as I'm not wealthy enough to pay Thawte for my home boxes' certificates :) The pngs are just models to be later converted to xpm. I do the conversion with The Gimp, but usually require further tweaking of the resulting xpms. The xpms are not limited to 16 colors as Philippe commented. I don't not if it's a technical issue but I can try to convert them to 16 colors if needed. If the shapes and colors are disgusting for anyone, I can change them as well. The set of png icons are made 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 sizes, but just converted the 16x16 ones to xpm. I'll convert all of them if you find them usable for scintilla. > I think people will be able to change colours themselves easily but > not the shapes.

I don't know if they'll make sense.

Of course they're different but I tried similar shapes. If there's any problem accessing my home network, I can put those icons on a remote site. Just ask for it. -- Iago Rubio _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest
