Hi,

I agree, there are several gtk stock icons that should be updated in my
view:

 GTK_STOCK_APPLY, GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_STOCK_CLEAR, GTK_STOCK_NO,
 GTK_STOCK_OK and GTK_STOCK_YES

Industrial, AFAI see, has only replacements for GTK_STOCK_APPLY and
GTK_STOCK_CANCEL. GTK_STOCK_APPLY is also in blue and would need to be
available in green before they would be ok for use.

I'm in doubt this would work but I'm not sure either.

That would be the better way I think.
