edje will convert to a bitmap on edje_cc anyway - so you dont magically get vector data using an svg. what you DO get is svg's that look different in the design app vs to the edje_cc compiler. as someone who has designed many icons and bits of imagery with inkscape for our themes... i'm warning you that rsvg != inkscape. what you see in a design tool != what you see at runtime. i'm saying that it's NOT A GOOD IDEA to use svg's as a source for themes. i've drawn icons that don't render right with rsvg. using some of the filters plus masking plus clipping can break in rsvg. i've seen it happen. it looks right in inkscape then fails with rsvg. this isn't theory > >> ok, we are hitting a problem with evas-generic-loaders because it's not > >> merged in the efl tree. > >> > >> The problem is that we are now using svg icons in the elementary theme, all > >> the new FDO icons are in svg format.
