2) If someone decides to try this after me, just wanted to make note that the path provided by OP isn't valid anymore (at least on Windows 7 x64):
Instead of "%AppData%/calibre/Resources", the correct path is "%programfiles%\Calibre\Resources" (or "%programfiles(x86)%\Calibre\Resources" if you are using "normal" Calibre instead of the 64-bit version of Calibre on a 64 bits OS).

NO
NO NO
Calibre was designed (properly) to NOT need Admin rights for skinning.
Icons (and other custom stuff)
belong in the Configuration folder counterpart of the program folder.
This way, each USER account on the PC can have their OWN personal Look and Feel.
In addition, using the config folder makes the mod fairly resistant to weekly updates (Calibre Updates replace the old program files).
