Sounds like it will need to be a ./configure thing (which sizes (or styles) to generate, where to place them, ... ). In which case LyX can choose whatever size and format it likes, but would need to manage the conversion(s). I'm thinking of a UI along the lines of: e.g. --with-icons=16,32,48 # generate icons in 3 sizes --with-icons=kde,gnome,... # named DE or wm specific set(s) of icons The size specific form of the option would need: --with-icon-format= --with-icon-path-prefix= --with-icon-paths=<list of paths> The named form should be able to figure out what and where to put the results; so a name could just be directions to which set of pre-defined --with-icon* arguments to use (maybe pulled from a file in the source tree). Since I'm not sure where to even begin coding it, I'm going back to just thinking. - Bruce
