15240	transform gui icons to svg	Klumbumbus	team	"Since we have an icon scaling on hidpi screens now (ticket:9995#comment:110) it would be nice to transform all icons to svg. Preset icons are already all svg (#13357)

Here are the current numbers: 60 svg icons and 270 png icons. This statistic excludes the folders `images/presets`, `images/icons` (only potlatch icons), our logo (which exists 6 times as png versions additionally to svg) and two special cases (lambert maps).

I think we could ask the osm community for help on this subject.

There are two possibilities:
* transform the 270 png to svg
* create a whole new icon set with an consistent look

For the second, there was already such an (not fully complete) dataset, see [[JOSM themes]]:
