Not sure, but i hope they can be using vectors graphix. As then, when resolutions gets larger, the size of the icons wont, as we could easily resize them and they'll scale beuatifuly!!!

Olaf, in my interview with him, said, the icon system needs an overhaul. Icons are getting to large.

I think the icon system is unique for AmigaOS and needs to be kept, but i think myabe a different format for them, would be a good idea.

OS4 for new Icons is a no go. OS4.2... Maybe? But later then that i would expect. After the Porting work has finished. So maybe for OS5. But this might be needed sooner because OS5 is very very far away. And 256 colors for icons will start to look very dull when its OS5 is released. So, maybe new icon system for OS4.2 OS4.5 would be a good idea?

They might have enough time too, because,  a lot of the stuff that was supposed to be done in OS4.2 and later, got put in OS4. So, there is room (if you ask me) for some more features.

But, we do have to prioitorise!!! That is, there might be more things other than an icon system that need to be implimented. If so, we should look at these first.
