Do you use VML or SVG files for the icons in the
user
interface?

    The vml and svg files can't be displayed directly by most
    browsers without the installation of aditional plugins, so I
    don't see any advanteges in using vector graphics icons
    instead of the gif icons we're using at the moment.

    ciao.. Iggi

    A more interesting and accessible GUI can be developed.

    Examples:
    - SVG Zone - Demos
    http://www.adobe.com/svg/demos/main.html

    - Bring Scalable Vector Graphics to life with built-in
    animation elements

    tipsvganim/

    I hope that these file formats can be displayed without a
    plugin in the future.

    Do you find the documents
    "http://citeseer.org/cs?q=Scalable+Vector+Graphics+User+Interface&submit=Search+Documents&cs=1"
    interesting?

    How do you think about the examples "http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/theme.php"?
