They are: emacs_16.png emacs_24.png emacs_32.png emacs_48.png The last two guys are the "perspective" versions of the icons. (The 16x16 and 24x24 are too small to have a perspective icons.) It is NOT necessary to provide .xpm or .pbm versions of these icons. We don't link to them in Emacs itself. They are there for distributors, such as the GNOME and KDE projects, Redhat, Ubuntu, etc., to put in their menus. Presumably, these guys know how to use Gimp or Imagemagick or whatever. Strictly speaking, they don't even need to be in the source tree, but it's as good a place as any to put them. I also added a note in FOR-RELEASE: to contact the various distributors and tell them to switch to the new icons, just before Emacs 22 gets released. (Although, by the time THAT happens, email will probably have been obsoleted by the Inter-Galactic Telepathic Transmission Network, or something...) One last note: since we have a spiffy new icon, how about using it for the splash screen? Andrew, would it be possible to rescale your icon to 250 x 200, to replace etc/splash.xpm?
