This directory contains all images needed by the IDE.
Images are stored in FPC resource files (.res). Each icon is stored
in png or xpm format.
bookmark.res - Icons for bookmarks
codetoolsdefines.res - Icons for CodeTools Defines Editor
components_images.res - Icons and pics for lcl components
laz_images.res - The icons for the speedbuttons, the menu (Open, Save,...),
package windows, codeexplorer
splash.res - the lazarus logo at IDE start
unitdependencies.res - Icons for the unit dependencies.
How to update the image resources:
Creating a lazarus resource can easily be done by the lazres program.
If you have not yet compiled lazres, go to the tools directory and type make.

cd <lazarusdir>/images/
../tools/lazres bookmark.res sourceeditor/*.png
2. components_images.res
cd <lazarusdir>/images/
../tools/lazres components_images.res @components_images_list.txt

ADDING IMAGES TO LAZARUS POLICY
-------------------------------
Images in Lazarus can be under CC, GPL, LGPL, public domain or under the LGPL-modified license.
When you are adding images to Lazarus add information about their origin in SVN commit log. If the icons are under CC or need an acknowledgement, be sure to update the Help->About Lazarus->Acknowledgements info.
Please use Tango icons whenever possible because they are SVG and exist in various PNG resolutions - it will make updating icons for high-DPI easy in the future.
You can download Tango icons from https://packages.debian.org/sid/tango-icon-theme or directly http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tango-icon-theme/tango-icon-theme_0.8.90.orig.tar.gz
Use supplied ready-to-go PNGs in the needed resolution.
Please note that policy for LCL images is different (more strict). See lcl/images/README.txt for info about LCL icon policy.
