TweakUI XP - Icon pixels, colours?

I used TweakUI on my Windows XP home icons to get rid of the shortcut arrows and that worked fine. Howver, the number of colours or pixels, the resolution or something changec ,the icons are grainy, not as many colours and transparent.

I tried changing back to the short cut arrows and the arrows came back but the icons still look like there are less colours or pixels (whichever).

Can someone give me a hand here please?

Thank you,

What I meant was did you try to see how many colors your display is set @ in Display Properties

Yes I did. It is set to 16bit which isn't anything new. Setting it to 32 bit makes the icons appear better. However, I'm sure they appeared just as godd at 16 bit before I messed with TweakXP.

Did you try System Restore to go back before you installed tweakxp?
