Hi

Much of the pngs, including most of the items, are scaled xpms.
They look very ugly, we all hate them.

But i find, that almost all items can be used as 24x24 pngs without resize
them.
They look then smaller on the map of course, but it looks ok and they are
shown like
the same in the xpm.

Also, on my client side, it should be enough so convert the xpm to 24 pixel
pngs.

If the client find a 24x24 png, it simply resize them internal (in fact, i
use a offset all times i use a sprite, to eleminate colorkey space on the
sides,
so i can include them there easily).

For the linux client a workaround for it should easy too and we avoid with
small
work a lot of work for the artists at the start. Then they can be changed in
time
by demand or if the artist like.

With this, we got rid off most of the really ugly pngs, ecexpt the iso
suckers.

Michael
