What size Icons / buttons do you like to use

I've just been creating several icons (24x24) for use in a GUI using ButtonImageGadget, (and they're sizes are 32x32), which looks allright to me.

I would like to know what size icons/buttons other users use and like to see.

Is there a limit to what you would use?

I like 16 x 16, but 24 x 24 is okay
I don't like it bigger!

not too big not too small....

24high buttons for 16² icons like the shortcut bar of Fifo is the minimum.
also the toolbar buttons of Paint or IrfanView are 24² buttons with 16² icons.

the 36² buttons with 24² icons from the Fifo toolbar is maximum size, any bigger would just waste space.

so, a 24² icon on a 32² button is a nice size.
