Hi All,

I'm going to start again, we just had another discussion on IRC and this
is what we seem to have come to, i'm sorry if I repeat something I only
skim read some of the discussion.

Firstly all non FDO standard icons used in elm/e will be installed into
the hicolor icon theme this means that if users choose to use any FDO
icon theme which doesn't have all the icons enlightenment / elm will
just use the existing fallback mechanisms.

The configuration dialog will be simplified too two settings (If I got
this right), firstly you will be able to choose a FDO icon theme,
Secondly you will be able to choose if Enlightenment and Elm apps use
the icon set from the enlightenment/elm theme (.edj) or from the current
FDO theme.

This implementation is simple and straight forward but has a couple of
caveats, Firstly if you would like e to use a different theme to the FDO
theme and the one provided by your current enlightenment theme bad luck
for now you will need to modify your enlightenment theme (This won't be
as bad once we make a way to provide composite themes). Similarly if you
are using a theme that is recolored and you choose to use a FDO icon
theme rather then the one from the .edj you will fall back to blue icons
rather then icons of the color of your theme, there are 2 work arounds
here, import the FDO theme you are using into the .edj file and get e to
use the theme from that or also recolor the Enlightenment-X theme and
get the FDO theme of your choosing to fallback through the recolored
Enlightenment-X.

Dave has volunteered to do at least the icon related changes and will
aim to do that for efl 1.19, after that point we can look at rewriting
the theme dialog probably as part of e22.

Cheers
