ICO-File support?

waeberd · 2004-11-17, 06:22

Hi,

is ICO-support implemented somewhere in MP?

(icon files, especially for list views where small pictures are needed)

Otherwise this would be a feature WISH!

Thanks,

Daniel

Why would you want to use ICO files? Is there a real advantage over using small gif or png files?

I don't think so, in the majority of projects I use pngs now and only user icons where multiple sizes/formats are required. Otherwise I think they are a waste of space.

No advantage and I agree that it's a crappy file format.

But I (and many mame users) have tons of mame icons which could look good in a list view!

There are also many icon collections around that would be cool to use.....

See http://www.mameworld.net/icons/ and admit they're looking cool.... 8)
