That's one reason, but there are two more equally, if not more important: 1) SVG rendering is orders of magnitude slower than PNG. Icon-heavy applications suffer if they use it. 2) SVG icons designed for higher resolution, with a lot of details, look complex and polluted in lower resolutions. From past experience, icon artists prefer to render the SVG to a lower resolution and retouch them. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
