[TYPO3-core] FYI: Icon for new_file.gif

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Dmitry,

I tried merging all icons from Jens to our existing icon scheme in 
t3skin. It did not work. Why? Because we use PNGs, GIFs, use of the same 
icon for different purposes etc. It is a complete mess.

Then we have places where the icon size is hardcoded (and of course if 
it's a PNG or a GIF etc), not cool at all.
Then we have icons in extensions (even sysext), do the ext managers need 
to care about the different skins or do the different skins need to 
provide icons for all extensions out there they want to support?

As you can see, horrible. As many noticed already, we really need a good 
skinning API for 4.3 (It's not just about icons) and I would appreciate 
if we could collect our ideas in the HCI list about what sucks right now 
(like I did in the previous paragraphs) in skinning terms, and then for 4.3
- set up a new branch for developing the new skinning API
- making a good default skin so that we can get rid of oldskin (and the 
messy t3skin version we have right now)
- use more templating in the BE

But, once we have done this, I little man in my head tells me that once 
there is the RFC in the list "it's way too much code to review for me, 
please split it in smaller parts" and that it's not backwards-compatible 
and shouldn't go in the Core at all. So looks like adding all changes 
UI-wise at once is just a big dream of mine as well.
