I uploaded a new version to the same file (if it still looks the same,

Done - except of the last line in every paragraph.

It is not as detailed as in the 256px version you refer to. But the 
128px version in http://odftoolkit.org/pages/ODF-Icons is a bit more 
comparable.

My picture is smaller to prioritize the text (same reason not to use 
columns). The picture itself is detailed enough for 256px icons - 
perhaps we need to reduce the contrast between dark and light (snowy) 
areas on the mountains.

Best regards
