Vector based images would be nice. Is there any good, somewhat
standardized format that could be used. For bitmaps, in the short term
it'll do to draw them smaller than everything else (the main problem
with high resolutions is text), though scaling would be nice (and it
seems to me that NSCachedImageRep should be able to cache a scaled
version of the bitmap, so performance shouldn't suffer).

It can be done from (IIRC) ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGlobal . Menus and
titlebars look OK, but most dialogs become messed up when the text won't
fit.
