I've been thinking now for a long time about color-depth
and icons. Result: 

For KDE 1.1.2 we'll add optional 48x48 HiColor-icons ...

BUT

I think we should consider to drop the 32x32-pixel-
40-color-icons for KDE 2.0 and have all icons dithered 
if necessary instead ...

If we wouldn't do it we would have to maintain too 
many iconsets:

-- 16x16 40-color
-- 32x32 40-color
-  (perhaps 32x32 HiColor)
-- 48x48 HiColor (yes we are making progress and if I have 
   made comparisons to GNOME -- well *our* icon-set is
   of uncomparable beauty right now!)
-- toolbar-icons: 40 colors and (?) HiColor (how should we 
   implement this.

So I propose to have these iconsets for KDE 2.0:

HiColor: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 (Desktop-icons) 
         22x22 (Toolbar-icons) 
40 Color: Noone

We would like to use PNG ... would this be a problem?
Any opinions?
