Yes. Talking about icons is a bit misleading, sorry. :) The scaling is not limited to icon-style graphics but can also be used with any scalable graphical assets, like billboard-style artworks, backgrounds, and so on.

Perfect, that was just what I wanted to hear, I am already using SVG to design the icon, and have it rendered by Inkscape.

That is good. Will it be possible to use the same mechanism to scale also application artwork, in addition to "desktop" icons? In KDEGames, artwork is provided as an svg file, which is rendered to a cache at runtime, for every size that is required. But for SailfishOS, the size would not need to change, since windows cannot change size. Also, I suppose that using the SailfisOS theme object will be even more important to get the right sizes for each element, as they will be no longer guaranteed to be the same across the board. I look forward to test this out on my Nexus 7.... :) Best regards, Luciano -- Luciano Montanaro Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. -- Douglas Adams _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
