I see only one useful way here:

* for icons, create rotate buttons for sugar-artwork and trying to switch
  all activities to these icons
* for fullscreen button, have a section in HIG regarding this button
  (it is useless to have it in different places for different activities).

And only after that, patch ImageViewer and other activities.
