16 pixels is the OS standard size and pretty small at that, at the lower 
threshold of usability.

Is it absolutely necessary that your app have them smaller?  Could there 
be some other change to the layout which could deliver the benefit 
you're looking for without the detriment?

If the IDE provides an option for any smaller size I would post a 
suggestion for its removal to Bugzilla.  On modern high-rez displays 16 
pixels is hard enough to grab.
