I don't think I missed the point; I was bringing a orthogonal one. I understand you think the 'trad' menu is a useful metadata collection on top of $PATH for 'every invokable thing'; I happen to disagree. > > Enforcing the use of the antique XPM format > > I don't think there is anything wrong with the xpm format for small > fixed-size icons. "Antique" is here a pejorative word for "well > supported by a range of mature and reliable software". For the record, I intended "antique" to litterally mean "antique": "Old, (...) out of date." [0]. You are putting words in my mouth by assuming I meant it in a pejorative way. That said, while "old" is factual, "out of date" is arguably subjective. I think I can agree with there being nothing wrong with the xpm format for small fixed-size icons, but I don't think "small fixed-size icons" is the experience we should aim to offer in the future: screens and resolutions are still getting bigger and a 32^2 icons will look smaller and smaller (or uglier and uglier) over time. We do have more modern formats to use right now; we're not discussing adopting a brand new image format, but PNG or SVG! Cheers, OdyX [0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/antique
