[Wesnoth-dev] I'd like to request a small feature.

Certain of our larger portraits/images have a small, 1px border drawn around them.  This is part of the image file.  Examples of where you can see this include the portraits for HttT and TROW. I'd like to have this made programmatic, which shouldn't be terribly difficult.  I'd like to have the code apply a border, hopefully rather similar to the existing one, albeit perhaps somewhat brighter, to any images flagged in the interface to use that.  As a first step, we could probably have a monochromatic border, and if someone wants to get fancy, it shouldn't be hard to cut up images for a patterned one, like what the current border technically is. Why? • Variable image size - this would get applied around any image of any size. • It can be changed globally.  Doing this would be a hideous waste of time, under the current system. • It will make all images follow the convention - currently, quite a number of our portraits, such as all of the ones submitted by Jason Lutes, James Woo and Alex-Jarocha Ernst, do not follow the convention.  In fact, the ones that do not follow the convention are a significant majority, and a good part of those that do are my own, or are images which I have full-size versions of, without the edge.
