Hi Peter,

I got you some schematic-up, schematic-down, symbol-up and symbol-down
icons in 32x32 pixels format as I understand is some kind of defacto
standard within gschem-and-friends (I peeked in gschem/bitmaps to find
out).

Let me now if you like them enough to use them.

I give/contribute them to gschem-and-friends under the same license as
GAF (GPL), so the bitmaps can be (re)used freely.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
