My own experience is if you make you own, they need to be around 31 pixels width and height and they have to have transparency. For me there was a bit of trial and error involved but it is rewarding when you get a result. Comments Tab button icons are tricky.

Make sure you drag the image as a PNG into the BT_Images folder in Xcode, not the actual downloaded folder as Xcode will not recognize the file otherwise. Make sure you do resize, the first time I did not resize and it came up with a massive square for the icon, which was about 1/50 of the actual image.
