- The mini-icons are black&white device-independent bitmaps, 16x16 for VGA and
- 20x20 for 8514/A. The Icon Editor can create these as well.
-
- I know, how can they be device-independent when the size depends on the
- display resolution. PM is to blame for that. Both sizes ought to be
- present, and PM picks the appropriate one. If it's missing, it will
- pick the closest alternative and scale it.
-
- To see this in practice, look at an object's icon, such as the System
- folder's icon using the Icon Editor.
