  1. As a windows user user, when programming with C and win32 I actually had the idea of using SVG for the executable icon. Unfortunately Microsoft windows only supports raster icons. Also there is no SVG preview in file explorer (unless with additional tools). Are there some reasons regarding performance or security, or why is this not a thing? I certainly know that Haiku developed their own vector icon format for executable icons, so I think it is just laziness on MS part. How is it over on the linux side? What happens if you have an adversarial svg with a really complex <path> or millions of tiny overlapping triangles? Would be fun to try it out (and have a lagging cursor change). Also I think using TinyVG instead of SVG would have been cooler (SVG is a very complex standard with some weird edge cases and more geared toward authoring vector images instead of efficiently encoding them in the most compact form). What do you think? Anyway, I am really a fan of vector graphics. Maybe I should write a vector UI sometime which also allows sending vector commands over the network like X11 forwarding). I prefer having a light cursor on a dark background, not like Brodie does it here, I imagine it makes it faster to find, as the contrast is better.
