The user can then search for the desired icon by selecting the various categories on the left-hand side of the dialog. The icons relating to the selected category will be displayed in the Commands box on the right-hand side of the dialog.
Once the desired icon has been identified, it can be added to the toolbar by dragging and dropping it onto the toolbar.
