There are other approaches as well: the TWiki:Plugins/TopicVarsPlugin lets you set variables in any topic, not just in [[WebPreferences]], for use in the same. The TWiki:Plugins/SmiliesPlugin, using a different short hand than `%VARIABLES%`, may be worth checking out for extended use.
-In this example, %TOPIC% - this topic - acts as the icon library. Graphics are uploaded and displayed. Then, the paths are set in [[TWikiPreferences]] for site-wide access. You can also create individual library pages in each web. And you don't have to restrict yourself to graphics: Preferences Variables can include text and links to any type of file.

-- The new [[TWikiPlugins]] feature currently does not have compatibility guidelines for developers. Plugins can require just about anything - browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), Java applets, cookies, specific Perl modules,... - check the individual Plugin specs.
