9600, 11440, 19200, 38400, or 65280. Any other request will be rejected as

You don't make a DD family. You add a DD family element to your Large icon

In your large icon family you probably have a 1 bit, 4 bit and 8-bit
element, add a new family element and specify it as DD.
And let its bitmap be your 44x44 bitmap. That's it.
