    This sounds great. :)
I only ask that you consider supplying either 256 or TrueColor
Icon at 32x32.  Even better,  If you supply 256 or TrueColor at
32x32 and 16x16.  This would allow for great flexibility when
editing the Icon.  I know that this will leave out the 48x48
large icon size.  But, I think that it is rarely used.
