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.
