Seriously, the Palm OS Programming Bible does not mention 32x22 app icons, only 22x22 and 15x9. What's more, Palm's only web page on icons does not list 32x22 either:
<http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/constructor/CGR_Bitmaps.html>
The same goes for the Palm OS UI Guidelines PDF.
Am I right to think it's a mistake to use 32x22 icons? The weird thing is they don't say "don't use them", they just don't mention them at all.
The icons are centered in a 32x22 space, and the UI guidelines suggest using 22x22 bitmaps; if you go wider, you should still center your bitmap in the 22 pixels in the center of the bitmap, otherwise they will look funny or off-center on the screen.
