WB Toobar Icons - Which ones do you skin?

Do the folks that skin these skin every single icon or is it acceptable to just skin the most common ones and colorize the rest. Here's what I've skinned so far on a set....

Internet Explorer Large - All
Internet Explorer Small - All
Explorer Large - All except icons 30, 31, 32, 36, 37, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47
Explorer Small - 1, 2, the rest are colorized
Extra - All except icons 4, 5
Extra Small - colorized
Go Button - Skinned

Thanks for any feedback

The only ones that I think matter are the internet large and small and the go button. The rest are a huge waste of effort in my opinion.

Besides, premium skins do not have skinned icons, why should all the others to be considered complete?

I've done all the toolbar icons in my 3 WBs so far, and will continue to do that. The more that's skinned the more complete the skin is.

If I remember correctly, I did all of them on my Singularity set, but I skipped some of the numbered ones on a previous set I did. (couldn't figure out what they were for).

I skin all of the Internet ones, and about half of the Explorer ones (only the ones I can actually add to my toolbar). I always do both large and small, and the Go button, of course.

NightTrain, you may not realize that many premium skins are completed months in advance of their release. In a number of cases, WindowBlinds couldn't replace the toolbar icons when the skins were created.

Point taken MikeB314. However, premium skins should be the cream of the crop and if toolbar icons are necessary for a complete skin then they should be there. Wb has supported icons for some time now. Many skinners have updated their skins with icons. Why not premium skin makers?
Not trying to cause a big fuss. It just really gets to me when someone says a skin is not complete because the icons and animations are missing. Does it mean that all premium skins are incomplete?
A better way to look at it would be that icons and animations are a bonus feature included with the skin.

bonus feature

I agree, especially since they are now separate uploads
