Thats a good idea, one approach I hadn't thought of at all.

Nice idea, granted. But the scaling of the image is a problem, and I
don�t think it will work for more elaborate type of icons.
Hm. The CII translators are Tao�s realm. But how about a Amiga made
PII translator, that adjusts icon images at load time? For desktop
environments with their range of resolutions, these images could
remain vector based, so they would adjust at every change of
resolution. On a cell phone (fixed resolution), they are rendered
once and stored as bitmap. (Could even be rendered at compile
time, just like a tool compiled native.)
That doesn�t have to be limited to the icons themselves. Like, store
imagery and text. If the resolution is really low, display the text only.
Dynamically add the images if resolution is stepped up.
Just some brain food for the Snoqualmie gang. ;-)
