... it became pretty clear that which style ("light" or "heavy") looks better depends strongly on the font (smaller fonts go better with "light", but the thin bitmaps can start looking a bit lost with large fonts), background color (on a dark background, the white bitmaps stand out much more, which makes the "heavy" bitmaps look even heavier), and probably display type (I use an LCD display which is very good at showing single-pixel lines precisely).
That makes a great deal of sense. Useful discovery. ... it would make sense to have a few alternate sets of bitmaps packaged with emacs, similar to Gnome's icon-themes? Yes. Please figure out several defaults, one of which is selected depending on some automatically measured value such as that coming from `display-pixel-width'. (Doubtless, some other function or variable would be better, but I don't know it.) -- Robert J.
