I don't see much difficult about it. It is either a b64 encoding of the image
or just a PNM-format to have an image of 1 and 0 characters of the pixels. In
the part that you snipped, I said that the .ini could be generate
d from the Desktop export. There is already a widget to specify a custom large
or small icon filename. The Desktop would just zip up the file into b64, or put
it inline, PNM-style. I don't see how a casual computer use wo
uld have any problems with it.
Actually big and convoluted is what will happen when writing something to workYeah, against my personal preferences, I've decided that wxW is the correct approach given the parameters of the project. It won't be 40 lines of code; wxWindows has "issues" (If it didn't, you wouldn't have had those bugs I worked around in Desktop) and sanity checks require more work than that, but wx can get some of the way quickly.
cross-platform, and have it work properly on the platforms. wx has already
wrapped the functions that are need. I think the whole app could be written in
about 40 lines of code, because there are already cross-platform classes for
everything needed.
More importantly, using wx keeps it compatible with Desktop so that you could call it directly if preferred.
