Those colours look great together, the screwdriver stands out so the
focus isn't on the (bigger) monitor or PC. To me, the 16 version looks
like it is system-display-config or something similar; might I suggest
having the PC box included, maybe in front of the monitor, to show
that it is the config for the whole machine?

It could be useful on a personal wiki page; not only can everyone get
to it but you can get the previous versions should any modifcations
turn out worse! The limit is ~800kB IIRC,there has been the odd
occaision where I have sent large attachments and they have been okay
with the moderators. It's best on a wiki page, though.

I would think so, it depends on what settings that menu item actually
configures (I use KDE so I can't remember!) If it is quite broad or
random then that seems a good solution to me.
