The "drop of water" as an icon in tray is not the best idea cause it's almost invisible. it might be OK to have a big version of it for the About Box and for a Splash screen, but for the 16x16 pixels icons is not well suited. This of course depends on the Vista theme too, but right now what the user can see it's a white square with a gray pixel in the middle.

    Icon is perhaps not best suited for small size (and I would gladly accept better solution). But also Java does poor job with tray icon. Icon looks definitely better on my Linux then on Windows. On both transparency is not working. And on Windows does not accept better image then 16x16.
