Let us some up the questions then. First the look and feel (please look 
again at the page http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/NewIcons.html at Andrew 
Zhilin's icons):

1) Which 16x16 icon should be used? There are two versions on the last 
row of Andrews contributions. I myself prefer the second of those 
because it is more close to the bigger versions, but I know others have 
offered different opinions.
2) Andrew asked if the darker or lighter variant should be used. I think 
the darker version is in the top row and the lighter in the bottom row.
3) Some people (including myself) ask for these icons in different 
colors. I know it is rather easy to handle on w32 and I guess that it is 
easy to handle on other platforms too.

Then some more technical questions (size and color depth):

A) Which different sizes do we want in the icon file for w32? I believe 
at least 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48. How about 24x24, is that commonly used?
B) What color resolutions do we want? I believe low color resolution 
(256 colors) is necessary (because scaling down the color resolution 
does not give good results sometimes). How about high resolution? Should 
that look exactly the same? Higher resolutions gives a bit more 
possibilities. Maybe you want to use that Andrew?
