Valid icon types

Size of tool bars is handled by Play The Web depending on the size of every icon. We recommend to use icons with the same height for a better look.
You can use icons with the same width, but it is not necessary.
If an icon file is an invalid file or this file does not exist, the default icon will be displayed by Play The Web.
