Changing the Toolbar Icons

You can preview each set of Toolbar Icons from the list in the preview area by clicking on a skin.  Some skins won't display any icons, such as: "Default Icons", "Classic", etc..  If you have MyColors theme(s) installed (as the picture above shows: Detroit Pistons, Magic) those skins may not display icons.
