Re: UI design for Tk app--PNG's or GIF's for icons?

There is also TkPNG if you just want PNGs. I know it has some
problems with 64 bit platforms and warnings with later gcc versions,
but these are at least all fixed in CVS. (Jeff Hobbs mentioned he
"had issues" with TkPNG, but he didn't elaborate. That was before
the fixes, though, so I don't know if he's tried the latest CVS yet.)

Some say that png's look smoother than gifs, which can be jaggy, and
this may subtly contribute to user perceptions about an application's
polish. So: does anyone use png's in their applications?

I now use PNGs exclusively in my applications. No matter how
meticulously one tries, GIFs look like Windows 3.1 era to me.
