Anyway, the icons look good!

Before this, AROS didn't support dual png incons.

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.

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
