I second Glynn's comments. 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.
Is XPM support and the symbolic names necessarily true for Microsoft
Windows OS's, as well?
