- The detail images are OK 40*40 both
- The button images back,save etc are 48*48 but in the program 50*50
- The + / - button images 16*16 and in the program 20*20

For the +/- buttons there is also a difference in the display on the desktop and the device. I suspect that, as the image files are PNG files they use the 4th byte for tranparency which seems to be used on the desktop but not on my device (WM2003).

In the attached image you see the difference, left device right desktop. Just for test the upper + button is 16*16 pixels. This should remain 20*20 but 20*20 images.
There is also an image with the new Message display.

As I am updating the program, do you want me to also update these sizes.

Best regards.
I think we should change it to the sizes that are standards - ie 48x48 for the condition, 36x36 for details - this would let people drop icons that are already available and use them without much effort.

The button sizes should probably be something standard also - 48x48?

I forgot what I used for the add/delete sizes, but those probably should match the control containers on the form.

At least those are the sizes that I can find that are in use. Realize Weather Icons (for Ifonz, S2U2 and other Apps) by Bluemetalaxe - xda-developers

Thanks for making the updates!

[update]

add/delete icons: 16x16
weather forecast details: 36x36
weather current details: 48x48
form buttons: 48x48
