res bitmaps instead of vector art.
Not sure who told you that, but that's wrong. You can use either
vector-based or multi-res bitmaps (basically containing at least a
72dpi rep and 216dpi rep).
Vector based is still preferable as it infinitely scales. My app uses
vector-based artwork (PDF) for everything except for the images fed to
NSCursor in which I use multi-res TIFF. Note that one can indeed use
PDF artwork for NSCursor; it's just that my cursor images were 3D-
renderings that didn't look right when vectorized.
