Re: small icon for control panel app



found solution as below.

All Microsoft control panel icons used for the applet have been found to
draw in four layers instead of a single layer.
To support a Large Icons mode, we need 32x32 size icon.
To support a Small Icons and taskbar icon, we need 16x16 size icon.
To support all above mentioned modes, we need to create layered icon if we
want to achieve it in a single icon instead of multiple icons and cleaner
code.
