Perhaps Ken was busy with Barbie?!  :-P

Anyway, the icons look good!

I could have sworn that AROS was the first to support dual PNG icons.

Indeed, I had done a couple of them in the past...

Additional code for headers were required to support those type of icons.

I just double checked.  I'm not going mad (well not in this regard anyway ;-)), a quick google has many references to AROS style dual PNG icons from a while back.

I guess these icons are in a slightly different format which is why they are only working now.

It's worth to mention that the term "DualPNG" came from Ken.

AROS was the first to support dual PNG icons. However, such icons never existed until Klesterjr painted some.

Correct. The AROS was the first to support two PNG images joined to a single icon file. On the other hand, Ken was the first one who created such an icons an gave them the name "DualPNG". :-D

Well, I just done some icons to see how dual state looked like, never saw if they actually work though...
