Q: I like the icons shown above a lot... but the only thing that would 
worry me from a design stand point is how they would degrade at smaller 
sizes. For an idea of this, look at the adobe icons compared to the 
macromedia or microsoft icons for someone who has their dock set very 
small... they end up looking a bit like a colored blob, and not really 
icons because they're so busy. The current icon is immediately 
recognizable at smaller sizes.

btw, great software... i just lurk on the list, but the above might be 
something to keep in mind.
