Yes! Please! =) I had to increase the size of our icons thanks to an 
admin request and it was really a pain tracking down the code in all 
the different scripts, headers, and help files. Size tags as variable 
would definitely help.

Also, have to add my own feature request here... a mod so that if the 
connection to a machine goes down, the machine name blinks. 
Moderately useless but half-way entertaining.
