The XPM format is great for things like toolbar icons because of the configurability that symbolic color names offer. I don't know much about the PNG format, but unless it has similar symbolic color capabilities, it would be a net loss, IMHO. Currently, the XEmacs toolbar makes some use of symbolic colors, but a lot more could be done in this area. -- Mike Scheidler c23mts(a)eng.delcoelect.com Corporate Software Technology Delphi Delco Electronics Systems PHONE: (765) 451-0319 Kokomo, IN 46904-9005 GMNET: 8-322-0319
