In case there is an issue with slider iconography on the desktop, or we want to move in the direction of using a gear icon for settings (which I would not object to), this patch would lay the groundwork and make that task trivially easy, as the only thing required would to be to replace the `configure` icon with a new one. Without this patch, it would be a huge challenge to figure out all the symlinks and make sure not to regress anything; I already spent half a day doing that work to make this possible.
  
  
  Then let's add more significance to the icon. I don't think two lines is enough to make the point.
  
  Maybe something along the lines of what's shown here?
