Windows XP-Aware Icon Package?

I noticed in Brad's screenshot of his current desktop that he mentions utilizing a "Windows XP-aware Icon Package". What exactly is that?
Just curious.

I used one of Mormegil's icon sets that has alpha blending in the icons. It's very nice.
Big downside, MS requires you to run in 32bit color to use them which is ridiculous. My machine at 32bit color here is a pig.

Cool. Thanks. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle.
I gave up on 16-bit color a long time ago. Nothing seemed to look right in it. Gradients were always wavy, colors looked off somehow. I've been running 32-bit since I got the original RivaTNT 16mb wonder back several years ago. I've never gone back.
But you're right about it's performance hit. I've just leanred to live with it (and I get by on blaming it on my ancient 400mhz proc...).
