[Design] [Sum] Sidebar Collection icon treatments

[Mimi Yin]

Okay, picking up this thread from April!

I have finally produced the sidebar-collection-overlay-widget icons.

NOTE: In order for the icons to look right (aligned with the text),  
we need to shorten the row height of each row in the sidebar to be 19  
pixels high, instead of 20 pixels high.

The default sidebar collection icon for user-defined attributes is  
supposed to represent a Label...to reinforce the notion that  
collections are just labels on items.

I have produced both the checkmark mouseover icon AND the eye  
mouseover icon as promised below. What is the best way to test both  
of these approaches? Sequentially in subsequent builds?

 From Left to right:

Label collection icon - Not Overlayed

Check icon Mouseover
Check icon Mousedown
OR
Eye icon Mouseover
Eye icon Mousedown

Label collection icon - Overlayed
Label collection icon - Overlayed Mouseover
Label collection icon - Overlayed Mousedown


In the future, if/when we support different types of Labels (e.g.  
People labels, Location labels, Date/time labels, Status labels,  
Value labels, we would have a different Collection icon for each  
label type). For now, we only have the generic Label Label.

The icons are checked into SVN. And this work item is logged as a  
bug: https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6569
