Windows 10: Is there a way to customize the system taskbar icons?

Like the start button, battery, Wi-Fi and so on.

I've discovered how to change the time, but as far as I'm aware there's no way to change the others. I'm not talking about hiding icons, or changing program icons, but actually changing the way the system's icons look.
