Question to the developers: what format do you want the icons in?

[James William Yoon]

This helps, thanks!

Some of the icons--"Collect", "Share", "Comment" on artifact view, for
instance--are intended to fit in fixed pixel high button casings, but the
icons themselves are of different sizes ("Share" is 13 pixels high,
"Comment" is 16 pixels high). When I export icons, I'll be exporting them in
the actual, inconsistent sizes (i.e., I won't be putting in an extra
transparent padding to make them consistently sized)--is this how you've
been doing it so far?
