I'll admit that it is nice to have the larger icons for the kids ( to this end one of my librarians has asked me to increase the font size on the opac ). So, in my opinion, it would be best to have variable padding with the icons. I just don't look forward to trying to code that. I think the best way would be to have it statically set. That way we would save the time it takes to parse the image to find it's width.

I would prefer that we accommodate different sizes for the icons rather than settle for just one "standard" size. I'm not sure how many libraries are using the liblime-kids set, but the icons in it are larger than npl or bridge to support a common design pattern for childrens' OPACs.
Regards,
i agree with Galen here. Michael, i guess the quick-fix for you, is to change your templates/ css for the bridge-set dimensions i wonder if the padding could be changed to a '%' value, rather than a 'px' value... could we have some magical auto-boundary handling here? <li title="" style="margin: 0.4em 0pt; padding: 3px 0pt 3px 30px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style- type: none; background-image: url(/opac-tmpl/prog/itemtypeimg/bridge/ book.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0pt 50%;"> Centerville (1)</li>
