Size & Placement
The majority of Eclipse style icons are designed within an area of 16 x 16 pixels. That is the final cut size of the image. Within that area, a 15 x 15 pixel space is reserved for the image itself, leaving both a vertical and horizontal line of empty pixels to allow for proper alignment of the image within the user interface. In the size and placement images below, the light blue represents the image area and the bright pink represents the empty pixel area.
If the height and width of the image are an even number of pixels smaller than 16 x 16 pixels, it is a rule of thumb to center the image within the 16 x 16 space. For example, a 14 x 14 pixel image will have a single row of empty pixels on all four sides.
Exceptions to the common 16 x 16 image size are also detailed below. All sizes are indicated with width before height.
Icons
Product
Product icons occupy the full space allotted for all five sizes: 16 x 16, 24 x 24, 32 x 32, 64 x 64, and 72 x 72 pixels. This shows how the 16 x 16 product icon fills the entire space:

Perspective and Fast View
The maximum image size is 16 x 16 pixels, but 15 x 15 is recommended. If the image is 15 x 15 or smaller, the empty pixels must be on the right and bottom, as shown here. Image size in allotted space

View
The maximum image size is 16 x 16 pixels, but 15 x 15 is recommended. If the image is 15 x 15 or smaller, the empty pixels must be on the left and bottom, as shown here.

Toolbar, Toolbar Wizard, and Local Toolbar
The maximum image size is 16 x 16 pixels, but 15 x 15 is recommended. If the image is 15 x 15 or smaller, the empty pixels must be on the left and top, as shown here.

Model Object
The maximum image size is 16 x 15 pixels, but 15 x 15 is recommended. Model Object icons must be no greater than 15 pixels high. The empty pixels must be on the left and bottom, as shown here.

Object Overlay (and Underlay)
Most object overlay icons are a maximum image size of 7 x 8 pixels, always centered. There are some exceptions to this size, two of which are covered here: the "multiplicity" overlay and the "underlay". The multiplicity overlay spans the width of the model object to a maximum of 16 pixels wide and 6 pixels high. The underlay is a maximum size of 15 x 16 pixels, though commonly they are a square 15 x 15 pixels in size so they are uniform when seen multiple times in the treeview.
Overlay icons should have an outer white keyline surrounding the image to clearly separate them from the model object icons that they over lay. If there is not enough space to add the white keyline all the way around the overlay image, then add the white pixels only on the side that will be overlapping the model object. This can be determined by finding out what type of overlay it is. See the Graphic Types subsection for a sample and description of the different types of overlays. For information on how each of the overlays is positioned on the model object, see the subsection on Positioning in the UI.

Pointer and Cursor Mask
The final size of the pointer and cursor masks is 32 x 32 pixels. The actual image size of the pointer is usually less than 20 x 20 pixels, often 16 x 16 pixels, but can also fill the entire 32 x 32 space. There are no empty pixels in the pointer and cursor mask images. Both are filled completely with black and white, with the mask being the opposite of the pointer or masking it out entirely.
Pointer and cursor mask image sizes shown in the 32 x 32 pixel space:

Wizard Banner Graphics
Wizard Banner
All wizard banner graphics are designed to fit within a specified screen space of 75 x 66 pixels on the right side of the wizard banner.
The actual size of each graphic will vary depending on the elements involved, but will generally be around 67 x 50 pixels in size.
Within the banner space allocation, there is no firm rule for where to place the wizard graphic. Generally, the graphic is centered vertically, and off-center to the left horizontally.
