Every bitmap and icon bundle are known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that

Icon themes recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org Icon Themes specification
The default theme is typically installed in @c /usr/share/icons/hicolor.

choose the best looking bitmap. For example it is often desirable to use
slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent
