- I've done this sofar (well, not make it a template, but the rest).
- But, I do not want to have to paste existing icons into such
- templates everytime I create a new icon.
- I want to be able to create an icon in 32x32 or 40x40, or take
- an icon from hobbes, and then add the 1 bit per pixel view whereby
- the original icon will be automatically scaled down, just like
- the scaling that is done from 32x32 to 40x40 (or vice versa) when
- that view is added.
- In other words, the 1 bit per pixel view should be in the display
- list.
