I like.

Though I'm sure the first thing I'd lose is the styling of the icon labels :-)

No i'm not joking. The only difference is the alpha channel. As i've said have you cecked the leopad icon of the lastes screenshots, it seems a png.

I'm not sure about you, but my eyes can see more than 256 colours.  I think you ought to take off those 3D glasses you were handed at the cinema :-)

They're tweaked methinks.  But they look good.

Example (and I'm not saying they were the first, I know they weren't), WinXP has 24-bit icons now rather than 256.  The icons do look better.  XP also now allows humungous-size icons, like AmigaOS has since the dawn of time.  Are you telling me it wouldn't notice on any large icon at all either?

And yes, some images can be scaled down to 256 colours without noticable loss of quality.  Anyone who does sensible web design knows this.
