Comment:
This was 7 years ago. We are now firmly set on using vector icons, not
bitmaps. Applications can still use bitmap icons in their resources if
they wish, and these can be converted from PNGs.
Converting PNG to HVIF is impossible as anevilyak said, and we don't plan
to add support for bitmap icons to HVIF as that would defeat its purpose.
Further, as I noted, most applications from Linux now have SVG icons for
HiDPI support, etc.; and these of course can be easily imported into IOM.
So we don't plan to implement this feature.
