[ZendTo] Request for help for a new feature

[Jules]

Adam,

That looks perfect, many thanks. I have used the 32x32 versions, as 
anything smaller than that is totally transparent so doesn't look as 
good. So the list of files in a drop-off is a bit taller than it was. 
But they look great, and their icon file naming scheme makes it 
ridiculously simple to code.

I'm fixing a few other bugs I (and others) have found, so as soon as 
they are done there will be a new (and possibly final???) beta for you 
to test.

Thanks!
Jules.
