    No offense, but these look worse on Windows 95, see http://abiword.pchasm.org/images/icons.png
    Especially the 32x32 small one which has no eyes and mouth
    or the 16x16 large which has a red corner. The screenshots are
    from a stock Win95b in High Color(16bit) mode. The icons need
    a 16 color variant. Consider doing like we do for the app icon, include
    multiple color resolutions, so Win95 gets a simple [e.g. the old one]
    16 color icon and newer releases of Windows can use the fancier
    higher color variants.
