this is pretty cool! one thing on the image drawing one is that there are "industry-wide" common practices when using a placeholder/drawing one to represent an image as a square/rectangle crossed from each angle (if I explain myself correctly). this dates back to the print design days, but would be a shape that's a lot easier to draw than the pseudo picture that's common in OS UI's. Yotako, which has been linked somewhere in the thread by tyingq (which reminds me of the Palm Pilot days) uses a similar approach as well. It makes it easier to draw and faster too
