[Freeciv-Dev] Re: PNG for freeciv

Allo Allo

First for all... Why force one solution for file format ?
If someone whant xpm then client should load xpm.

Load gfx code is gui depend.
if xaw can only load xpm then file format should be xpm ( not automaticaly 
converted from png )

if win32 can load png then file format should be png.

Simply create theme ( thilespec with gfx files ) in all needed formats.
File format should be writen in *.spec file.

SDLClient ( in fact SDL_image lib ) can load xpm , png, jpg, and others 
( all gfx needed  by SDLClinet : orders_buttons, gui theme, etc. is in png 
format :)
