[Skinning] List of all variables for icons displayed in browsing menu?

Hi,
I am trying to create some custom icon images for the browsing menu (i.e., Album Artist / Album, Album, Title, ...).

To my knowledge, we can set custom icons by defining the thier images in skindef.txt file (in new skin file format) in the following format:
<icon-variable>: <image file>
For example, the <icon-variable> includes iconplay, iconpause, and iconfolder-*.
Now, my skindef.txt file contains the following <icon-variable>s.

Code: [Select]
iconplay: 
iconpause: 
iconfolder: 
iconfolder-album: 
iconfolder-all: 
iconfolder-artist: 
iconfolder-bits: 
iconfolder-chorus: 
iconfolder-compilation:
iconfolder-composer: 
iconfolder-genre: 
iconfolder-instrument: 
iconfolder-orchestra: 
iconfolder-period: 
iconfolder-playlist: 
iconfolder-rating: 
iconfolder-style: 
iconfolder-title: 
iconfolder-type: 
iconfolder-year: 
iconfolder-upnp: 
iconfolder-shuffle:

However, there are some icons whose <icon-variable> is unknown.
For example, iconfolder-shufflealltracks, iconfolder-shuffleallalbums, iconfolder-albumbyrelease, iconfolder-albumbyartists, and so on.
In addition, some, like icon-rating and Advanced Search, do not match <icon-variable> and its menu item.

Is there a list of all icon variables?
And is it possible to set different images for the icons whose <icon-variable> is unknow as mentioned above?

Some menu items use the same iconfolder-*
I don't believe its possible to create custom variables.

Thank you for your quick reply and useful information, zeremy.

Based on your reply, I understand that some folder icons in browsing menu share the same icon variable and image.
It looks strange to me, but for the moment I will follow your advice and create icon images for the existing icon variables.
