VB 2003's icon editor

cj
I've added an icon to my project and am looking at the icon editor
window. I haven't done anything yet. My question is in the top left of
the colors toolbar down the left side of the screen, there are a couple
of selections that look like little monitors. One is white with a red
"screen" and the other black with a green "screen". There is also a
larger figure that contains a black box over a white box. Everything
else in the toolbar are just colored squares to pick a color from. What
are these things?

Also, the Screen Color is used for setting transparency in Icons and Cursors.
