Those .png icons are a serious pain to
retouch--they're not even true
pixel art, and
I think someone downscaled most of them from larger or vector
originals.
Which we don't have, of course. :(
The best solution I have found (which is far from ideal of
course!) is to use hqx to upscale the largest image available as much as
possible. This them becomes the master image, and all the other images
are
regenerated from it as needed.
We've been doing something like that, using the highest quality image
found and then downscaling as needed for the others. :) kiconedit works
great for that.
