No; its a known 'feature'  :-)

You see, David Junod the author, is very concerned about style
issues;  in this case, he was concerned about the huge icons
that software developers seem to make for their products.  So
he decided to lead by example, and provide a useful tool which
would automatically spread his belief to the world.  :-)

Truthfully, though his solution is a bit drastic, big icons
are a pain, and I generally cut when down when I buy a software
package.  (Using DpaintIII to shrink them)
