[Berndl, K. <kla...@sd...>]

I forward your email to Markus because he's the man who mostly did
this cute icons! :-)

This can be done via semantic-format-face-alist.... Thankls for
the hint, you are not the first one who has suggested that but 
"constant dropping wears away the stone" ;-) So i have checked in
some minutes ago the mechanism so now ECB enures autom. not to
display static tags with underline when already an icon is displayed
for this. You can download the latest CVS snapshot and try it out!

I have added one column of transparent pixels on the right side
of the class icons with protection.

Interfaces: Markus, could you provide icons for Images?
When not does it makes sense to display the current class-icon for
interfaces too - this is the way  i have now implemented - its already
in the CVS! Jens, feel free too, to provide special images for
interfaces ;-) Enabling them would then be a task of about 5 min.

Hmmm, this would be a not so trivial change therefore i will not do that -
at least not in the near future - but i agree that this grey icon looks
indeed somehow "wrong" - would it help to give this icon another
colorization??


Here is, what's new in the current stable CVS snapshot:

* Changes for ECB version 2.24

** New "current-type"-filter for the Methods-buffer
   In languages which have types like Java or C++ this filter displays only
   the current type and all its members \(e.g. attributes and methods). The
   current-type is either the type of the current tag in the source-buffer or
   the type of the current node in the methods-buffer. If ECB can not identify
   the current type in the source-buffer or in the methods-window then nothing
   will be done.

** Enhancements to the icon-display in the Methods-buffer

*** New icon-image for enumerations

*** Some slightly fixes in the other icons - e.g. a better display with dark
    background

*** Static tags are no longer underlined when icons are displayed because this
    is somehow "tautological" when a special static icon is already displayed.

*** Interfaces are displayed with the same icon as classes - at least till
    someone provides special images for interfaces ;-)

** Fixed Bugs

*** Fixed some newly introduced bugs which made ECB 2.23 incompatible with
    semantic 1.4.


I plan to release today evening or tomorrow the next release because 2.23
is incompatible with semantic 1.4. which is really annoying!

Thanks for your suggestions!
