Currently we do the following: 1. if display supports >= 256 colors, try low-color/IMAGE_NAME.xpm if it exists 2. try IMAGE_NAME.xpm (color icons - requires libxpm) 3. try IMAGE_NAME.pbm (monochrome icons - support built in) 4. try IMAGE_NAME.xbm (monochrome icons - support built in) Personally I think we should try looking for png images early in the process, since that is the source format for the images
