[Mono-dev] System.Drawing.SystemIcons.cs

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

It is deliberate. Icons have special masks that this code handles that is 
not part of regular bitmaps, otherwise the standard bitmap code would have 
been called.
Assuming that there are no bugs in the encoder I see no reason to plug in 
another, as there's only one format it is supposed to handle, and that 
format is handled.

Cheers,
  Peter

1. I may want to plug some 3rd party or an encoder.
2. This will give a unified architecture.
3. This will make the ToBitmap method to return the internal object
instead of serializing / deserializing to BMP.

But actually I wondered whether this was made deliberately or is an
historic issue.

Not sure what that would achieve. What codecs do you want to plug in?
The
Icon format is defined by MS.
