Well, this is already done.  We can change it later if we dislike this
approach.  In the long run (when we get the background thumbnail
creation) the images will actually be thumbnails of the images
contained (the code is there, and a sample make-thumbnail program is
shipped, but it needs to be done in the background).

Use as many colors as you need.  Imlib will indeed sort it out for
you.

The icons on that page have broken links, can you fix those?
