[Lcd4linux-devel] Icons

[Scott F. <sc...@st...>]

What's the purpose of allocating space for icons at the driver level?
Having this moved to the layout level would allow much more freedom,
but that may undermine whatever reason icons were allocated to begin
with. I'm just thinking that allowing more freedom at the layout
level, the better quality the overall collection of layouts. It's a
harsh constraint when you're transitioning between layouts. All those
icons go to waste and you're blocked from doing anything about it, but
what's worse is you can starve any bars you may want to display. When
it comes down to laying this allocation at the layout level, it sort
of makes the allocation redundant and just another opcode. The layout
author should have enough responsiblity, tech, and math to keep from
flooding syslog. So I don't know what I'm suggesting. I'm just
suggesting something different than a hard coded allocation. The
dynamic allocation, or lack there of, is cheap and simple to
implement.
