When I export the image (after adding a layer) to .ICO format, Gimp show the following Icon Details:
1. 4 bpp, 1-bit alpha, 16-color palette (since this looks larger this must be the initial 32x32 layer)
2. 8 bpp, 1-bit alpha, 256-color palette (new layer).
Should I change the 2nd layer to 16-color palette too?
