Your PNG format icons will work fine. Images in the PNG format are compressed nicely and have a transparency feature which is not supported by other formats. This is the most used format in applications because it is smaller in size. The downside of using this format is that it takes longer to load than the BMP format because of its decompression time. Others still find the BMP format more ideal for icons because it is a straightforward memory-image of the graphic data.

It depends on you if you want quality icons or fast loading icons.
