In Irrefutable Defense of Flat Icons

What?
If you have a vector image, you pre-render them once, and then that's it

They might be performance friendly in the sense that you can compress them a lot more than skeumorphic ones and have them look about the same. But you have to actually do that.

Haiku has very detailed vector icons, and it's extremely lightweight.

whoa, I read somewhere that haiku has their own way to configuring vector images such that they are significantly lighter than bitmaps

Flat are comfier
Fuck off boomers

based

No they aren't.

Removing the GUI is even more performance friendly

Easy to do with websites like font awesome that convert it for you.
yes they are. they are, performance-wise, superior to vector files like svg. Icon fonts can be cached therefore making them load faster directly from the browser. Only downside is that an additional http request is liekly needed but it's 2019 for website failure is hardly a tenable concern.

also, do you mean in general or in their native .hvif format?

kino

Raster icons are faster than vector icons.

Vector images are pretty much always significantly lighter than bitmaps in terms of storage space, you'd have to fuck it up pretty bad to have a vector image that takes up more space than a bitmap.

The tradeoff is that vector images occupy more memory and processing time to render.

You'd have to be pretty retarded to confuse these different metrics of performance. I sure hope none of you are making that mistake.

Are vector images GPU accelerated yet?

Yah but raster icons look like shit and are shit so who cares about them

Or actually, just use Unicode icons

Pixel art icons > vector > flat

Lol no they aren't, at least not appreciably. Save any icon as PNG and it'll have more or less equal loading times.

nope, but nice try though.

Come on, guys, we shouldn't cyberbully this guy.

Haiku is extremely nice in general
