Re: Fwd: New icons for KiCAD

 

I'm don't fully understand you.
By default kicad uses precompiled icons in *.cpp format (svg->png->cpp).
This files stored in bitmaps_png/cpp_{16|24|48} dirs.
If needs to change some of it, you need configure build with MAINTAIN_PNGS
parameter (for detail see bitmaps_png/CMakeLists.txt) and after that will
build icons from svg.
Icons for windows ( in *.ico format) are builded by using special script
bitmaps_png/icons/mk_icn.sh from svg sources.

Regards, Konstantin.
