Jan, The problem with the small icons is that on my screen, 600x800 resolution, the small ones are too small to tell what they are. I really couldn't compare them well. On a higher resolution, they will turn into pinheads. Yes, the larger icons will move the line over, not much for a single icon, but perhaps more on a line where all four icons are displayed. At 32x32 it won't occupy more than half the line yet, so I don't think visual readability will be impacted, but I could be wrong.
