Good news about icons sizes!
This is a bit off topic but on my systems, say I have 4 hidden launch bars, when LBC starts up it redraws the bars for what seems to be the number of times that there are bars.
Unless I've done something wrong (which is almost unheard of... just ask my wife) would it be difficult to suppress that behaviour while you are looking at this program? Obviously it's not vital but there's a certain annoyance factor associated with the flashing effect that this causes.
