Hi,

I am almost finished with my new thunderbird extension, now I want a
nice toolbar button; problem is I do not know how to make a multi-res png :(

I have tried Gimp, Pain.Net and Photoshop7 but I can not find any way to
do this.

Is it possible to point the overlay to 2 different icons to support
large and small buttons? At the moment the small button is blank, and
only the large one displays the image.

Another question, is it possible to find out the server / host of the
currently viewed email tab, (or web location if its a content tab) from
the main thunderbird window?

thanks in advance
Axel

Guard us from the she-wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief,

Thanks Phil,
I found the selector [iconsize="small"] especially helpful!

I ended making 2 image maps one for each resolution, because its easier
to edit in Photoshop like that.

regards
Axel
