Sure. But Coot is pointing to the system icon directories. I know how to
convert
the png images, but unless there is some trick I haven't thought of Coot will
still
be pointing to the system ones rather than the ones I have converted.
And I'm certainly not about to go around re-processing
all the system icons on every machine that might run Coot.
I usually rebuild Coot from source, and I'll do that for the released version
0.8
as soon as I get some time. That way there are no library incompatibilities.
