I'm looking at the Explorer toolbar icons and I've never even seen half of these?

A) How do I test them?

Should I even bother to skin them in the first place?

As I understand it, many of these icons appear in MS Office programs, in certain cases. I don't know, I've never used MS Office.

A) I've wondered about that very question since the days of Themebar..... I dunno.

I've seen many sets that didn't bother with most of them. Since most people don't know what they are, I'm guessing they'll never know they aren't skinned.

I spent days doing icons for one of my skins. I did all the icons you can. I have never seen any of them used other that explorer toolbar icons. This is good because they really stunk the big one. I am glad I have never seen them. In my opinion it is a complete waste of time to do them all.

I just skinned the ones you see in Explorer and the fonts folder. Other than that, I don't know where the other ones are located.

I think I'll replace the "cell phone" icon with a message written in 1pt font that says "If you find this and can read it, I'll send you 20 bucks".

I too have pondered that dilemma(where are they?),so I made a set that was transparent,can be used with any skin and gets its colors from the background.

(that way I only had to make 1 set,at least till I'm bored with them)
