Hi,
yeah I thought so. In attachment you can find the same dataset but
with 128pt as max size. I imagine a program like ctrl-tab could (will
one day) use the 128pt as it already does in OS X. If however you
think they are still too big and can create a dataset with 64 pt max
size. Either way, some of these icons were update compared to what you
have, especially icon_kicad.*

cheers
Fabrizio
