[Piotr Esden-Tempski <piotr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Did anyone consider adding the ability for “themes”/“resource packs"? So that one could load and switch packs that contain icons, colors and fonts. A good default is very important, but an easy way of testing out modifications to icons and color themes might be a nice thing to have. 

Cheers,
Piotr
