I looked at them with Emacs.

I use -kb for all the files, and beyond that didn't need anything
special.  The *.png files are marked -kb anyway, so I cannot imagine
what could be the problem.

Both: I say that we have now 32x32 and 48x48 icons, and each one has 2
variants, one each for dark and light background.  And I say that the
new icon, if we accept it, should have the same 4 versions.

All I know is that we now have only 32x32 and 48x48 icons in nt/icons.
That means these two sizes are enough to satisfy users' needs on
Windows.  So I asked for the new icon to be of the same sizes.

How many colors we have in nt/icons icons?
