As far as I know, shellstyles do not contain icons, but rather resource data for theming, such as how the start menu will be displayed. For example, a XP theme I used quite a few years ago removed the Start text from the start menu and replaced the green button with the image of Sonic. Icons have always been separate from the visual/shell styles, afaik.
To map icons the way you want, you would need to use the Registry.
