Adrian I understand your remark but I'm not completely in agreement with that.

Icons is at once of the most visual but also a help user. We could associated directly to a themes but the reality is more complex. If I take the GTK project, every user can define if he wants icons, icons and text or only text independently of the themes.

On issue OFBIZ-4259 I do an error to use icons through img because although they are images, they are a more complex management.

I'm not for their exploitation only through css or style because although they results from it. We limit their display rendering on one technology et style don't allow user preference managment.

I propose to continue icons integration, add a new element in screen renderer that indicates what icons use on menu and form field. Thence following the user preference and then the themes we display icons or not. Whether rendering css by then or treatment with an image, it will be template renderer are made ​their work.

I thought the original idea that Nicolas proposed, was for this to be 
configurable by theme (adding a layoutSettings.VT_ICONS_LOC to data config).  I 
think that you should be able to turn icons on and off as well as change the 
icon library location.

The main problem I have with this is the idea that theme design has been taken 
away from the theme designer. In other words, icons should be added by the 
theme designer - they should not appear in all themes by default.

I did not see any issues in Flat Grey, could you post a screenshot?

If it's really blocking (I doubt we can't fix any related issues), it should be 
easy to configure with a property in widget.properties to bypass image rendering in 
menus (HtmlMenuRenderer.java around line 500) and buttons (MacroFormRenderer.java 
look for submitField.getImageLocation(context)  or maybe rather ModelFormField.java 
but this one existed before, see 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1095984 for files changed)

I see that icons were added to menu items - maybe in rev 1088549. Is there a 
chance we can revert that? Or at least make it configurable on a per-theme 
basis? The new icons break the layout in the Flat Gray theme. It would be 
helpful if a theme can choose to use the icons or not use them.
