 Haiku has beautiful icons. Seriously, very beautiful icons. Recently, a
 YouTube reviewer was complaining that these beautiful icons were too small
 to notice, especially in menus. Menus are different story, alright, they
 need a different UX pattern, but I think the least we can do is make the
 Desktop icons a tad bigger. Let me show you with screenshots attached.

 As you can see, 48*48 size has the perfect balance between being too large
 and showing enough detail. However, 32*32 icons are a bit too small, and
 they do not show enough detail.

 I believe this is the perfect opportunity to showcase some nice Haiku
 goodies.
