I looked at the Wiki docs here but didn't find icons noted for these fairly common tasks, and felt that to use a 'delete' icon for a 'disable' action seemed misleading. I also looked at some other modules, but wasn't sure still. After finally looking at the available icons, I still can't decide.
Is there a standard set for these?
Any advice?
Thanks!

Nice ... I get to make up my own!

I'm rather surprised you didn't initially... I don't know if this is what you mean, but pn8 has icons used for these control statements, enable and disable in the Modules module, and default in the Themes Module (although default is just a check mark, it suits the need) there all in the PostNuke main image directory under icons>small.

I agree that under most circumstances the given icons work for 'default', 'activate', 'deactivate', but when you have many different actions on a page, the images don't work out as well. It could be said that maybe then I should slim down the actions on the page ... but in the case of an overview page where many "one-click" actions can be placed to allow more intuitive admin (ie, speed-admin'ing) I had trouble keeping the intent of the images clear. I suppose it's not a huge deal...users can hover icons to get alternate texts...my main goal in terms of images and code is to try and follow standards to a tee, so I thought I'd ask to be sure.
I did consider making a few new icons, but in reality, it's not easy to match the "style" of an icon set without having a master .psd. (Though I did merge a couple images from the "Crystal" set to create an updated Example module icon.)
