XPM icons don’t have full alpha blending, and it will get worse at sizes smaller or larger than 32x32. Furthermore, supposing that the icon is assorted to the default icon theme (and I doubt a 32x32 XPM icon can be), it would look ugly with other icon themes. As long as your MIME type is named text/x-something, the default icon for text files will be used, and this should look *much* better with all icon themes. > Does anybody know if a desktop manager follows the FreeDesktop standard for > icon names?

If it is useful in some places, you’d better ensure that it can look consistently with all of them. -- .''`.
