Sometime in January 2000 David Fedor (or was it someone else? -- it's hard
to remember that long ago) suggested that you make your Icons 32x32. The KB
article, "How do I create a color icon for my application?" (
http://oasis.palm.com/dev/kb/faq/1817.cfm ) also says: "Even though the
window is 32 by 32, you should only use the top 22 pixels, and your drawing
should be no wider than 22 pixels, centered horizontally in the window. This
is not strictly necessary unless you want to maintain compatibility with all
versions of Palm OS and all the known application launching programs. 22x22
is the "proper" size, but using 32x32 and centering horizontally but not
vertically makes it work everywhere, at the expense of a few extra bytes in
your icons."
