You know what Jooel - I know you know this - my comments aren't directed toward you or Jan ... Im just making some statements here. And to be honest, once an icon or bitmap has been sized ahead of time - why would one need to dynamically chnage the size of it (while the app is running). Unless one is coding some kind of funky game or imaging software itself ... how many Windows apps have you seen that dynamically change the size of a bitmap. One very rarely see this, even (like you say) when using the webbrowser.
