That's good then. The link to mine is this in case you're wondering.

For most icons downsampling the 48x48 to 22x22 should give decent 
recognizable icons. It's 16x16 that causes problems and usually need to 
be made separately, pixel by pixel. So I'll see which icons look ok in 
22x22 and modify the ones which don't.
