Gridscreenlogo request - http

When setting the gridscreen logos to an http url, they do not display. When setting them to pkg, the same images work. Could you allow http to be used for the gridscreen logos please?

I suspect you already know this and were just requesting in general, but just in case... You should be able to use the roUrlTransfer component to download the image to a temp file and reference that tmp:// path in your theme.

Yes, I'd like to see more consistency in the SDK with regard to where things can be loaded, what commands do, etc etc. By allowing for http download it helps eliminate confusion as to why something doesn't work - is it the png transparency, is it an error retrieving from the server, is it some other problem... The documentation doesn't state that you can only load the logos from pkg or tmp or ext1.
