[edit] Application Icon
WinMerge utilizes two primary icons. The lowest resolution available being 16x16 at 16 colors and the highest being 512x512 at 16.7 million colors.
[edit] Icon Specification
The table below displays the current specification for the primary application icon and the project file type icon. As both icons are maintained concurrently, only one chart is needed.

[edit] Vista Support
A 256x256 resolution icon is now available. PNG Compression on this size is not currently implemented.
Windows Vista supports PNG compression of large icons (recommended). There have been instances where the use of PNG compression has caused all versions of the icon in the set to fail rendering in Windows 2000; and presumably any OS version below that will have the same effect.

[edit] Small
Enabled Filename: /Src/res/ToolBarEnabled.bmp
Disabled Filename: /Src/res/ToolBarDisabled.bmp
The context menus make use of the small tool bar icons.
[edit] Large
Enabled Filename: /Src/res/ToolBarEnabled32.bmp
Disabled Filename: /Src/res/ToolBarDisabled32.bmp
The Large tool bar was implemented in 2.7.4.0 Beta and will be released officially in 2.8.0 Stable.
[edit] Development
The toolbar and context menu graphic structure is maintained by the BCMenu Class.
/Src/BCMenu.cpp
BCMenu at The Code Project.
[edit] Ideas
- Alpha channel support so that we may use variable transparency and anti-aliasing for the tool bar icons.
[edit] Context Menus
