   Breakpoint, traditionally a round shape or octagon to exploit
similarity to STOP road signs. Red.
   Disabled breakpoint, similar to breakpoint but greyed or hollow to
show not active
   Current line, normally an arrow, yellow or green
   Bookmark, most applications have used a rounded rectangle. 
   Other geometric shapes may be useful as may some more picture like
icons such as a book for bookmarks.
   16x16 is a reasonable size as there is often a little more than 16
pixels between lines. Multiple sizes could be provided to allow for
scaling.
   I think people will be able to change colours themselves easily but
not the shapes. Having bitmap files rather than geometric shapes makes
it more difficult to change colours but does allow more subtle images.

   A set of smaller (possibly 12x12) arbitrary geometric shapes for
use in autocompletion lists. Around 10 of these so they can be
assigned to programming language features like class, interface,
field, constant, procedure, template, resource, namespace, exception,
static, ...

   Here is a page showing Scintilla in PythonWin along with two more
recent applications, Visual Studio 2005 and NetBeans. I think
Scintilla is starting to look crude compared to these.
