resources

I would like some of my preferences to have icons, like the Settings app.

I guess one way of doing this would be to copy all the relevant code and resources from the Settings app, but it seems like overkill for a couple of icons.

Also I don't like the idea of having to duplicate the code and resources in each project that requires settings icons.

Has anyone solved this already with a simpler or resource-free approach?
