Re: [platform-swt-dev] Resolved: To properly support MacOSX, SWT needs to support TIFF
|
Bob,
I don't know what others' experience has been but my GIF icons look like
crap on MacOSX.
Do you mean, that our icons were designed for Windows and
that they not adequately match the unique Mac experience :-)
or do you experience a technical problem that icons don't look good on MacOS X?
(Please post a screendump with some crappy icons!)
I freely admit they don't look like Great Art on Windows,
but it does seem to me that to properly support MacOSX, SWT should support
the native icon format there, which is as much an industry standard as the
formats currently supported.
What is the native icon format on MacOS X?
Are you suggesting to use TIFF icons in order to support 24-bit color?
I think as long as we continue to use tiny 16x16 icons, the gif format supports
24-bit color too, because every of the 256 pixel in the icon can have
a different 24-bit RGB color;
and if you need more colors for larger icons we already support jpeg).
And we'll get a real 'native' MacOS X application icon soon!
