Personally I find that 12x12 icons just "look small" compared to all other UI graphics, having them been designed for that size or not (maybe the design was not so good and it could just be improved if that is really the desired size).
In any case, I'm not a fan of small UI graphics because it makes harder to see what you are clicking on and for new users to understand what each button is for.
I could agree that 16x16 give the impression of being a bit bigger than others. I'll give a try to 13x13 as soon as I can, but my impression is that it's too near to 12x12 and I would have tried 15x15 instead.
About changing the size, please check which icons (and other UI elements) are affected (e.g. see the attachment of post #2) because maybe some of them should be moved outside the "affect" group and be kept 16x16. For example I don't see any reason for which the palette size should depend on other icons' size.
