    On the frontpage, the icons are too large to fit a single screen for anyone using a resolution of 1024 x 768. Any chance this can be fixed in the next update of the design?

    This is still an issue...

    Perhaps all the icons should be shrunk by 10% or whatever so that they'll fit..

    Decrease the image size, increase your screen res...

    I'd opt for increasing screen res where possible.

    The majority of people on the internet use 1024*768. It makes sense to support the most popular option.
    OneStat.com, a major provider of real-time intelligence web analytics, has reported that more and more internet users choose for screen resolution 1024 x 768 which is the most popular screen resolution for exploring the internet.

    The finding has important implications for web site designers because most web sites are designed for a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.

    The screen resolution 1024 x 768 has reached an all time high and has risen from 48.3 percent in June 2003 to 54.02 percent. Users with monitors set to the most common resolution 800 x 600 for web sites have an approximate 24.66 percent global usage share. A year ago this percentage was 31.7 percent.

    The most popular screen resolutions on the web in the world are:

    1. 1024 x 768 54.02%
    2. 800 x 600 24.66%
    3. 1280 x 1024 14.1%
    4. 1152 x 864 4%
    5. 640 x 480 0.6%
    6. 1600 x 1200 0.8%
    7. 1152 x 870 0.1%

    All numbers are an average of the last 2 months.

    I dont see the need for the Icons at all as the links are already in the header . The icons just duplicate those and IMO the front page would look nicer if that space was just left blank.
