Hi Jerad,
Thank you for your prompt reply.I also have this concern that "passing an
icon image" as you mentioned above reply since we are maintaining set of
default icons.But IMHO we need to handle the situation like if the gadget
author need to add a totally new function/button which icon image is not
exist already in default icon set.
Your suggestion would be appreciated.
