its heven worts than that. the fact that we are limited to 22 or 24 forces us 
ti use only one row of items couse 2 rows meen 24 + 24 + 6 for wite space +1 
for outline = 55 pixls wich is rather huge.
i would not mind doing small systemtry icons for every app that would need it, 
in fact i think that aystem try icons should have its hown subset of icons 
more simple and less on your face.
