At the very least, you want to have several different sizes, and many people will want to either add their own icons to an application or chose amongst them. This obviously then requires you to add an "active" flag to each of the "active" icons at each size. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
