- What dimensions? OS/2 1.2 used 64x64 (huge!) icons for 1024x768 mode.
- OS/2 1.3 uses 40x40 icons for this mode, which is supposed to make

- The dimensions are present in the display.dll, and you can patch them,
- but I don't know where they are. They should be 40x40 for your
- display mode. 32x32 will probably be too small unless you have a
- large monitor.
