    initial v1  
    11Following your line of thought, it would be unrealistic that all software would have icons in Haiku, unless Haiku would support PNG icons alongside HVIF. I agree that Haiku should support icons in some regular image formats, probably at least PNG and JPEG. But that support should not be realized in HaikuDepot, but in the system itself.

     3To explain: HaikuDepot just receives an opaque buffer of icon data, it does not have any special support for HVIF. It passes the icon data buffer to the libicon API living in libbe, and lets it render into a BBitmap. This mechanism would not require any changes in HaikuDepot, should support be added to libicon to recognize PNG or JPEG buffers or some new format which could store multiple resolutions of PNGs.
