Creating your own icon theme for calibre
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you have created a beautiful set of icons and wish to share them with other
calibre users via calibre's builtin icon theme support, you can easily package
up your icons into a theme. To do so, go to
:guilabel:`Preferences->Miscellaneous->Create icon theme`, select the folder
where you have put your icons (usually the :file:`resources/images` folder in
the calibre config directory, as described above). Then fill up the theme
metadata and click OK. This will result in a zip file containing the theme
icons. You can upload that to the calibre forum at `Mobileread
<http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166>`_ and then I will
make your theme available via calibre's builtin icon theme system.
.. note::
There are several replacement icon sets for calibre created by users
over the years. You can find them gathered together in this `forum thread
