>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>It is not true that you need to have an icon of size 72x72 inorder to have more than 16 colours. I have icons of size 16x16 that have 256 colours. As far as I know, icon used as project icon needs to contain one icon of size 16x16 and 32x32 in one icon file which must have only 16 colours.

Got me!:-) I knew that I was missing something there. I can't tell you how many times I've referenced that article. Guess sometimes you can RTFM too much. Anyway, I'm not sure that it's strictly a fox thing. I'd have to play around and test, however. Maybe later to-day.
