List view icons look a lot like dialog icons, but they use an inner shadow
effect where the light source is above the object. They are also designed to be
used only in a ListView. Examples include the Settings
application.
As described in Providing Density-Specific Icon Sets, you should create separate icon sets for low-, medium-, and high-density screens. This ensures that your icons will display properly across the range of devices on which your application can be installed. See Table 1 for a listing of the recommended finished icon sizes for each density. Also, see Tips for Designers for suggestions on how to work with multiple sets of icons.
