You're right. I added it in 16x16 to the website. The problem is that
the icon is not recognizable at that size. I will check how to tweak
them to scale them down (and both ideas you pointed out sound good to
me).

I think integration of the icons is a bit early. I think some more
wine-devel readers (Alexandre for example) should say if they like them
or not and what can be done better. As soon as we can agree on an icon,
I will look at the guide and try to use the "bunch of tools".

I will see what I can do :D

I think the logo is much better than the icons from the picker. But I
will look at it later.

[ARTWORK] icon: "My Computer"

Forgot to mention: I uploaded a "Desktop" icon. I think it is useable at
16x16, but that's my opinion. Please take a look :D
