At least on Linux, this ability to customize things seems to be 
prized/praised by many. So much so that "they" got together and created 
a standard for toolkits and DEs to follow to make it simple for the user 
to do, to globally change the icon theme instead of digging through 
app-specific preferences, if provided, to change only the window title 
bar icon while other icons provided by the same app follow the theme 
properly.
