When making tiles, what would the best size for each of them be?

that really depends on how what size your other pixel art is.
5x5, 10x10, 20x20, how much can you do with a certain amount of space, and what about how big is an average tile relative to your own characters?

i usually do 32x32

35x35 would be the best decision for me here, thanks

I always thought the spheres past the Dithering one were kinda ugly.

Yeah, the last one could be used for some metallic thing though.

Everything past games doesn't seem to fit very well.

I mainly had another concept for everything, basically using a 3-square grid like Games, Creativity worked great for that, but I had no way to make use in the same method for the other 3, unfortuantely.
But I think the Media icon is quite fine.

Also if anyone wonders how is that supposed to work; it doesn't open a folder, this happens:

They also work well with the Windows Shortcut Hotkeys which is good (Windowskey+Number)
