    Directly from "what is useful". Just load one of those sprites, or the official ones inside dod folder, into your graphic program to see the size of the items. Do this also for skill icons (even if those are just 64x64 and 32x32 pixels, you cannot go wrong).
    You can use nearly any program, just don't use GIMP or, if you'll use it, use another program to convert .png sprites since there will be compatibility errors if not done as I said.

    I recommend FastStone Image Viewer as you can convert whole folders at once with it.
