I would be very happy to include scaled pixmaps and rc files (assuming
somebody else makes them :)
However, I don't think I want to make this run-time selectable, since
the location of the pixmaps and the rc file is already defined by the
Ardour rc file. Whenever we get guileconfig back to being capable of
supporting cmdline args again, you could also do this from the cmdline:
ardour --ui-rc-file=whatever --pixmap-path=1024x768
Still, I agree that a short-hand for this might be a good idea:
ardour --screen=1024x768
There are reasons why you might want to use the 1200x1024 images even
on a smaller display, and making this be handled automatically at run
time would tend to prevent that. I suppose it could be overridden from
the cmdline.
