Rodent and png icons

[edscott wilson garcia]

Hey all, 

  Currently there is no way to prefer png icons over svg icons if both
are supported. Are there reasons to prefer png icons? For some people,
yes:

1- Png icons render faster. If you use a large set of icons from the
Rodent theme, this is an important performance issue that the Xfce
philosophy should consider.

2- Png icons do not trouble the user with render errors that can only be
ignored.

  The easy way to give users the choice would be to have a separate
themes for the Rodent scalable directory, which inherits from the Rodent
theme.

  Functionally no items will be created or destroyed, except for a
single index.theme file.

  Is any one against this? (I can't imagine why.) 

  Of course, if the user selects a gnome theme she will be forced to use
svg icons, but that's the way gnome works so it is OK.

Edscott
