like the attached screenshot.
     Note all the "St" and #Sy in the class category pane.

Denotes (St)ring vs (Sy)mbol

This is added by the MetaProperties package, primarily for additional 
cues in VisualPropertyMenuItem-s.  Note the purple menu items.

The #icon method shows up in some contexts.  E.g. if you have loaded a 
Color Names Dictionary, you can
   Color colorNamesDict explore.
Clicking on the triangle shows a color swatch by each color name -- more 
useful than an RGB string. :)

You do not have to load MetaProperties, BTW.
Just
   Feature require: 'UI-Components'.
rather than
   Feature require: 'UI-Tools'.

Both of these (meta)packages just require other packages, which can be a 
useful strategy as well.
