What's wrong with it, besides them being 4 bit?  IIRC, on <Win2K, system tray icons are 4 bit (16 colors), otherwise they're 8 bit (256 colors).

Edit - If you're >=Win2K, you may have video driver configured wrong.

Are all your icons displayed in 16 colors? If so, there's a setting for it in display properties. Otherwise, I don't know. I can't tell if my systray icons are 4-bit or not, not such a big difference for tiny icons.

I don't think that they are -- the quicklaunch strip suggests otherwise.

But, that setting is under Display -> Appearance -> Effects -> (checkbox) Display Icons using Maximum Possible Colors (or something like that).
