I think imlib is installed on a lot modern systems. But using only libpng (that is a requirement for imlib anyway) to load png images is good too. Supporting gif and jpg images would be good, but png is more important. > So if there is no objection I will write a png loader (using > libpng) for fvwm (with the help of imlib2 source code). I am all for adding png support. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
