-========================
-= INKSCAPE ICON THEMES =
-========================
-
-Starting with 0.47, Inkscape supports icon theming using the XDG Icon Theme
-Specification [1]. It is implemented according to the Themable App Specific
-Icons document [2]. Everything that's needed to replace Inkscape's icons
-is to put appropriately named icons in your desktop environment's icon theme.
-A list of the names is available at [3].
-
-The monolithic icons.svg file is deprecated and should not be used to add new
-icons. Support for it will probably be removed in the next release (0.48).
-
-== User notes ==
-
-To get back the old icons on Linux, copy the share/icons/hicolor directory
-from the source tree to ~/.config/Inkscape/icons, and remove the index.theme
-file.
-
-To use the Tango icons on Windows, go to INKDIR/share/icons, where INKDIR is
-Inkscape's installation directory. Rename "hicolor" to "old", and then rename
-"tango" to "hicolor".
-
-== Developer notes ==
-
-The enabling bit of theming on Windows, which isn't mentioned in GTK docs,
-is the index.theme file. Without it, gtk_icon_theme_load_icon fails with the
-GTK_ICON_THEME_ERROR_FAILED error.
-
-Note that what dir the icon is in (actions, status, places) under the size
-directory doesn't matter at all when icons are looked up; the lookup function
-looks in all directories.

-== How to add an icon ==

-To add a new icon, you have to do the following:
-1. Draw the icon on a 48x48px canvas; for new icons, try to follow the Tango
- guidelines [4].
-2. Name the icon according to the icon naming guidelines outlines in the
- theme specification and using existing icons as a reference.
-2. Place it in the appropriate directory under scalable in both hicolor
- and tango. Choose the best suitable context ("places" for dialogs,
- "actions" for actions, and "status" for status indicators and toggles).
-3. Run the script render-icons.sh and then update-makefiles.sh in both
- directories.

+The only graphics that will be kept as XPMs will be the cursor
+icons. (REJON: I"m actually in favor of trying to convert these to SVGs
+as well.) These files are located in src/pixmaps.
