Attached patch patch v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Currently our Windows jumplist items use the default Thunderbird icon. We can do better. My proposal is to extract the icon from the toolbar sprite sheet and embed it into the EXE at build time.

The attached patch does precisely that. It does depend on pypng [1] though, and we're going to need to get it on at least the Windows builders to get the patch to work. We seem to have at least three options to do so:
1. Get Mozilla-Build to include it. It's pure python, so not a hassle at all to include.
2. Add it to the comm-central repo. It's MIT-licensed and build-only, so I don't really see an issue there.
3. Get people on Windows to easy_install it. easy_install pypng.

Mark, Gozer, opinions?

We could also use a more heavyweight library like the Python Imaging Library [2], but I don't really see the point in doing so.

patch v1

Slick looking!  I haven't tested the UI, but assuming it works the way it looks like it works, ui-r=me!

Thanks,
Blake.

I filed a similar bug 661502 for Firefox. I think they might be interested to have this functionality too.
Ted, see comment 0, would lib pypng be something you would be willing to include in mozilla-build?
Sure, but we'd have to get out a new MozillaBuild release, which I haven't had time to do.
Now that we're about to include MozMill in the tree, I think it'd make sense to include this in the tree too, and maybe even combine the virtualenvs for the two.

Assuming the code isn't massive, I think that could be reasonable to do.

patch v1

Just on file placement, I'd like to see the python script in c-c/build/ instead, so that SeaMonkey could in theory use this same approach.

All right, this moves pypng into the tree. It doesn't use a virtualenv though, just straightforward pythonpath.py.

The library's MIT-licensed and used only at build time, so adding it shouldn't be a problem I think. Do we need to update about:license for this?

If you are changing this here, you have to change it in the suite manifest as well.

Good point, thanks.

patch v2

This seems fine to me.

I think bringing the code in should be fine, but please check with licensing about the incorporation - more details here: http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/license-policy.html

(r+ assuming licensing is happy).

Yes, this is fine.
