...which, if I may add, is the whole point of having icons in
the first place. If they are not the same across applications,
you might as well remove icon bars altogether. In fact, I am a
strong proponent of having one single icon set that developers
have to use. Any icons that need to be designed for specific
purposes should find their way into the set, allowing others to
use them. There should never ever be the possibility to have
different icons for the same action across applications.
