No, and it REALLY ticked me off.  I hear things like "it can't be done",
which you and I both know is complete bullshit.  Unless it's a hardcoded
value in some Java class (which means the programmer hardcoded one icon
for each possible Perspective), then there's a setting somewhere.

I'm getting worried that the product has gotten so large and/or there's
been enough outsourcing or turnover that there are now parts of the tool
that nobody understands.  If it were my team, I'd simply go to the guy
in charge of the perspective bar (which changes drastically in Eclipse
3.0, by the way) and ask him where he gets his icons.  If there is no
such person, then you've got a serious problem in your project
management.

But no, ask me how I REALLY feel... <grumpf>
