And so, scaling down - you don't lose anything really, scaling up you will. i chose 64x64 as a compromise between memory usage and quality for the icons in e's themes. it's big enough for most of our uses. > I could draw my SVG icons, and then they will be able to be scaled > down/up with more quality- even, when we have icons on the desktop > support we may have very nice 300x300 icons there. Hopefully you > understood what I meant. And hopefully such SVG support is technically > possible have you USED 300x300 icons? they are HUGE. it's impractical to use icons that big. it's sheer novelty value. NB - your icons will looks significantly worse at 300x300 as you 1. have less detail in them and 2. you have got inaccurate vectors in your icons - these errors vanish when scaled down, but when made large, you see them easily. > -Mano > > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
