How would I change the icons of certain applets that do not give the option to in the edit menu such as battery monitor, system tray, etc.?

You can always download these:

edit: Not sure if the ones that you want are in there, but it is a start. Do you have a dropbox account? I can provide some more that were given to me by seppalta, a mod on this forum.

An application icon can be changed by editing its .desktop file, which is usually in /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications. The Menu icon can be changed by right clicking the current icon and selecting "Menu" Settings. The colors of the vertical bar battery icon can be changed by right clicking the current icon and selecting "Battery Monitor" Setting. I don't think the system tray notifiers can be easily changed.

Any appropriately sized picture can be used as an icon.
