Dear Andreas,

Nice and good looking icons. Maybe you can apply a gray smoothing in the
background.

To achieve this, you can duplicate the layer, apply gaussian blur, make it 20%
transparent and move the resulting layer to the background. As I do not run
MS Windows, I cannot garantee results under Win32, just a thought...
