Hmm it's probably coded in C++ then.

Btw i have studied a bit how icons work in QtMoko. It seems that best format 
is .pic This is special Qt format of scalable image. This format seems to have 
best performance - in fact it's set of serialized qpainter operations. The 
format is scalable and the files should be quite small. .pic can be generated 
from SVG with svgtopicture utility (or something like that).

That would be very useful.

I like it very much. But it looks like it will need some coding. It seems i am 
quite overhelmed with Qt 4.8.3 upgrade, problems with sound and other stuff, 
but i hope i can get to it. I love the mokofaen theme and i will be glad if i 
could help improving it even more.
