Hmmm. I think that having them renderable with a height of 16 pixels means they will work nicely at a common font size of between 8 and 15 points without disturbing the layout. I don't care about the width much, although anything bigger than 2 and a half times the height would look funny I suspect (I am not going to measure the WAI icons, but I think they are no more than that). I actually find it much easier to read when the text is somewhat more spaced, so personally prefer the larger size. Therefore I vote for larger icons that can be still be easily distinguished at 16x16 Looking at the icons page in double size and half size was interesting for me to think about it. Different browsers do this very differently, too. cheers Charles On Tue, 4 Dec 2001, Jan Richards wrote: Before we start mixing and matching icons of different styles, let's at least decide how large they should be displayed. I vote for 16 x 16 to lessen the likelihood that the icons will change the line spacing. -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
