I have nothing makeing this default (if the license is OK - it most likely is).

Anyway, default for TheIDE. I would rather keep CtrlLib.iml as it is and override CtrlLib icons just for TheIDE.

(One reason is that I think CtrlLib.iml icons are much simpler and therefore pack to smaller size, which makes better default for small apps IMO).

OTOH, nothing against doing this as package that alters the CtrlLib appearance. Hmm, idea, just like we have "plugin/", what about to start another group "look/"?

The new images seem to make little difference to file sizes so far. But if it is a real concern, I could try to make the images smaller by using color palettes. The problem is IconDes may not store the image palette and use full color palettes instead.

However, I think there may be real concerns by users using 8-bit displays. What would you suggest to address this issue? There is no facility in UPP at the moment to select icons or images based on display bit depth.

The odd thing is that almost all toolkits I've used so far (e.g: Qt, GTK+, wxWidgets,..) only use 24-bit color icons for their toolbar images and message dialog icons. Probably 8-bit and 16-bit displays are a thing of the past?

AFAIK, TheIDE about logo is a 24-bit image. Wink
