Hi

Does something like the below dreamed thing exist somewhere already? Or at
least a theoretical treatise of such thing?

-------- 
Let's consider a pixmap using thorouguly a largely distributed and highly
populated palette (for example a KDE icon using up completely the
classical KDE-40-color-palette).

Let's say now that I want to "tint" this image, so that it becomes evident
its appartenance to a color theme. Do you know the "sepia" B/W photography
technique? Something like this.

I'd like to just apply an API like 

QImage *tintImage =  new QTintedImage(QImage*, QPalette* tinting-palette);

And be (almost) sure that the *tintImage would look clearly as pertaining
to a collection of tinted images.
----------

Is this possible at all? Is this of any value?

IMHO, this would be more than excellent to have for the KStyles work. This
would even allow to automatically tint the whole icons set on loading,
whitout having to keep on disk whole sets of modified icons for each
desktop theme.

Thanks
