Hi Lars, Any recommendations on how to do this?
The way I used was tedious, but I got through it in an hour. I searched for the string .gif in all the CDT repo, then went through the results and looked for image path prefixes that pointed to the platform. I actually found some images being opened from org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.debug.ui. I've changed all those to use the .png instead. http://eclip.se/477610 I wonder if there is a more efficient way for others to use?

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Please remove references to gif files in platform.ui bundles 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.
