I hope this isn't too off-topic. I'm curious as to what others think
about the question of gif or png files for icons in a Tk application.
PNGs, because they have a variable transparency channel, make much better icons.
I know gif's are more commonly used by Tk developers, likely because
gif's are supported natively and some de-facto Tk stock icons (such as
those that ship with BWidgets) are gif's. Other formats require the Img
extension.
This is the major disadvatange of PNGs in Tk use, but I always make use of the Img extension myself.
