Hi, As I am working on the new Trash Can icon for the Echo Icon Theme, I was wondering whether it would be acceptable to use small amount of post-processing in the icon themes. If so, I'd probably implement it to the echo-artist scripts so that the PNGs would be easily reproduced from the source SVGs. My reason for this is that while I am unable to achieve, to my eye, perfect antialiasing in some cases when using direct export in inkscape, but after exporting it in bigger size applying some filters and resizing to desired size I am able to achieve, to my eye, better results. What I particularly have in mind is ability to export the icons using higher resolution, and work with that image as a source. Allowing some more complex resize filters (like lanczos) and simple filters like gaussian blur or some sharpening filter would be probably enough for the purpose of making the icons look better. I attach comparison images, user-trash-np.png is directly exported from inkscape, user-trash-pp.png is post-processed using gimp (exported 4x bigger, applied gaussian blur with radius 3.0 and resized using lanzcos to final size). The difference is subtle, but at least on my display the improvement, especially in the 32x32 size, is apparent. Do you think such a difference is worth the effort? Is it desirable? Martin
