Can you explain why this is a problem? 128x128 and all other specs seem
to be a pretty high-res allowing you to downscale as required.
Furthermore; it seems highly inappropriate to alter the preview size based
on the operating system of the users preference. Which is what I gather
you meant with your suggestion. If not, I'm not sure why there is any
reason to make the rules any more flexible.
I'm confused.
