On Windows we currently use different icons "within" LyX and "outside" it.
Within LyX we have this in QtView.C:
string const iconname = LibFileSearch("images", "lyx", "xpm");
if (!iconname.empty())
setIcon(QPixmap(toqstr(iconname)));
which results in the rather cruddy lyx.xpm icon being displayed at the top
LHS of the LyX window.
The rest of the Windows world makes use of the rather more swanky
lyx_32x32.ico file to be found in development/Win32/packaging/icons .I.e.,
this is the icon used in Windows Explorer and on the desktop to visualise
lyx.exe.
These docs
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/appicon.html
suggest that we can use .ico file "within" LyX too, for consistent look and
feel.
On other platforms I'd suggest using the lyx_32x32_16colors.png image
(which is one of the images embedded within the Windows .ico file). It's a
little "smoother" than the existing lyx.xpm file.
Thoughts? Objections?
