- The XPM2 format that iconedit uses to save its color files, is not directly supported
- by openwindows. In the X extension somewhere there are routines that manipulate this
- format. You could use these (or write your own, its not that complicated) to read the
- XPM2 format and create a pixmap which you will then bind to the server_image of your
- icon ( I assume you are using xview ). Keep in mind that color icons eat a lot of
- memory.
