Currently we have common graphical /UI assets either:

replicated in multiple places, and/or
referencing resources in other programs.

The first point wastes resources and can make maintenance harder.
The second point makes building programs more fragile, with opaque dependencies. E.g. changing the location of tl_sys_16.png in media/log_el, should not break compiling other/t_edit!!

First scope which resources we should target, and present to the community.
Graphical assets should be centralised in a common location for all programs. Community feedback on the file path is required. (@Leency ?)
De-duplicate resources in individual programs and fix includes / references.
Ensure documentation is updated (inc. wiki, forum, discord, text and source files).
