You icon making junkies should learn how to make Photoshop scripts. They have a whole way to automate things. So you could have a PS script called "MakeActive" and it will batch process all your icons in your set and add a glow effect. (Or whatever effect you want to do.) You could have another script called "MakeBlue" and that will change the background color on all to blue. "MakGreen", etc. You can be creative. Plus you could have a script to resize buttons based on the touchpanel size you are designing for. Let me know, I can program it for you. I wonder if Fireworks supports scripting like this?
