Description
**What is the current behaviour and why should it be changed?**
Currently we mainly use png images (even in places where vector based images would be beneficial) . We should discuss if we want to move to SVG instead. This has the advantage of a potentially smaller app, easier size modification. However it's more complex to render them.
**Describe possible approaches**
Convert new images to SVG. This might introduce a new Qt dependency.
@jamulussoftware/designers I assume you're already working on the new instrument set in SVG format?
**Has this feature been discussed and generally agreed?**
No. However see: https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus/pull/2508
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the current PNG image usage in Jamulus and the related pull request #2508. Investigate whether SVG rendering would require a Qt dependency and document an agreed approach for converting new images or adopting SVG more broadly.
