Yeah, I think I actually missed this part. I'm sorry about that.

Since the icons are just for toolbar usage and they don't go to desktop, 
the shadow problem doesn't a actual problem. Do I got it correctly? I 
based mainly in the Tango icons along the application main toolbar, some 
of them have shadow, others not.

I got it. Well, if we take the shadows off, we will decrease the icons 
size by 2 pixels. Since they are 26px (24+2px) large, this action makes 
them 24px (22+2px) large. Then they will have 1px empty around, the 
correctly size. We'll not need remake them. :-)

But I'm not sure if the other Tango icons on the screenshoot included in 
this page 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/LibreOffice_Initial_Icons#Feedback_and_Issues 
actually is 22+2px large... When I was editing these icons, I used the 
other Tango icons as base, and I'm almost sure they are actually 26px 
large (24+2px) large.

A question just now came to me: I didn't go too deep in this subtitle, 
so is it actually defined if we'll change to Galaxy icons?

See you!
~Paulo
