Hi there, I don't know whether it's because of the original icon set I chose (Nuvola), but my icons work just fine at different scales, even down to 16x16. I've created many more icons based on the original Nuvola ones. I often go in and hand-edit the SVG to keep it simple, so I suspect I'm not using any features that aren't covered by SvgTiny. Even those I haven't edited (straight output from Inkscape) have worked fine.
For lots of programmers working on small projects without a resident artist, the current SVG support in QImage has been a huge blessing, giving us a lot of flexibility without the need to generate and distribute huge icon collections.
