- What's your display size? If you use VGA or 800x600, which use 32x32
- icons, the large ones may actually look WORSE than before, since
- detail will be deleted when they're scaled down.
-
- What you describe sounds like you've got a 1024x768 display, in which
- case icons would be 40x40. The 32x32 icons would be scaled up,
- creating thick lines in places, while the 64x64 icons would be scaled
- down, deleting detail. If you create a 40x40 icon (8514 form factor
- from the icon editor), you should see it displayed exactly they way
- you made it.
