Keep in mind the usability dangers of colour coding (colour blindness, differnt colour perception, monitor not set to Full/High colour). beauty is in the eye the beholder. I quite like having consistanly sized 22x22 icons. I dont like how it looks if you the icons are not all of the same area. I had considered doing the icons of my next sheet at 36x36 (windows) or 48x48 (gnome) to allow more convenient reuse. Talk more later. Gotta go see a Samuel Beckett play.
