Benny,
The 24 x 24 16 color icon is blue rather than black.
I am not so sure that a full white background with a black border around
that is the best solution. Would it be acceptable to add a white border
around the X icon, rather than a full background?
I would appreciate input from others on this... I don't feel like making
a call on the icon all by myself.
