In the last two releases we replaced the gif in platform.ui with png files. The gifs are currently still present in platform.ui adding to the download size of Eclipse. For Eclipse 4.6 M3 we are planning to remove them (except the ones for views and editors to avoid NPE's as these are cached in some cases).
The purpose why we are removing the gif files is to reduce the download size of Eclipse. Other projects like PDE and JDT removed the gif directly during the conversion to avoid this additional load.
