As others have pointed out, 16x16 is used very often on Haiku. I have 
pondered the idea to make Tracker optionally use 24x24 icons in list view 
mode, but while it would be possible and not too hard, the icons would not 
look very crisp, since auto-fitting curves to the pixel grid is currently 
not implemented. (To my knowledge, no system does that, they all have 
special versions for the various sizes.)

Best regards,
