set the image mode to indexed 255 colors

set print resolution to 144 ppi (not for small images like icons). You can do this easily with GIMP from
→Exportieren Sie Bilder im PNG-Format.
Don't include English text in images. Translators can't translate it and many users don't like that. Use XML captions instead, or provide a .xcf file in the <!--TO TRANSLATORS: Corresponding .xcf file is in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help/tree/master/docs/xcf%20images -->
→ folder, indicating it by a comment in the XML file:
Icons for GIMP are in
/usr/share/gimp/3.0/icons/
.
GTK icons are in
/usr/share/icons/
.
To include an icon in the text: <guiicon> <inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="path-to-icon"/> </imageobject> </inlinemediaobject> </guiicon>
