[cssed-devel] SVG and icons

[Iago R. <iag...@hi...>]

I'm trying sodipodi and it's impresive.

It's really great to be a unstable release, and it's right now a usable
tool.

I'm thinking about to change - in the future - the icons' format from
PNG to SVG.

This way cssed will only use XML data files (SVG is a XML based vector
graphics format, standarized by w3c).

What do you think about that ?

Is anybody working with sodipodi and SVG ?

Ah! searching for info about SVG, I've found a small reference to cssed
in the article "SVG and its Path into the Linux Desktop" on OS news, by
Christian F.K. Schaller [azureus at http://advogato.com].

"November 2003 also turns out to be the month when another important
project gets started. Iago Rubio starts a project called cssed which is
a CSS2 editor. Rapid development follows and cssed is already a useful
application."

Why this reference to cssed in a "SVG on the desktop" article ?=20

Because SVG based desktop icons, can be changed with CSS style sheets ;)

Promising, isn't it ?
