I think we can get around this, but it will be a lot of work. If somebody wants to, they can rewrite the themes to use SVG, and we will accept those SVGified themes as replacements when: a) they look as good as and work as well as the rasterized ones b) XWT's SVG support works properly Basically it will boil down to a *lot* of "tweak, run, compare pixels with xmag, repeat". I'm not going to do that, but if somebody else does, that's great. > Interesting point, but I think that automated conversion programs can > address this. I doubt it. Tupshin, I think what you propose is possible, but I doubt that it can be automated beyond some trivial rectangular forms. - a
