I really think the checkmark is the best prefs. icon-overlay. Here is why:
1. When selecting preferences in the real world, particularly on forms, you
*check off* what you prefer
2. It has a real-world analogue for exactly what it is for (checking off
preferences)
3. A slider is not easily recognizable. There are very few real world
analogues other than stereo equalizers, a niche item.
4. A spanner doesn't relate to computers, and especially not to preferences
on any real-world item. Spanners are for mechanics.
5. It's bright and red and easily seen at 16x16
