You basically set up a pref observer to monitor a preference setting and when that setting changes you change your icon and state. Look at how Flashblock does it. We have a toolbar button that changes image depending on whether Flashblock is enabled or not. Clicking on the button will toggle the enabled/disabled state. This change is propagated to all instances of the toolbar button in each window.
