I believe, from what I've read and discovered in the Admin CP, that this is technically not possible. However, using replacement variables, it seems that it just might be. In the theme for which I wished to create custom icons, I added a new replacement variable:
Replace 'src="images/icons/' with 'src="images/icons/custom_theme/' ... this seems to have done the trick, as my icons are all now being read out of a 'custom_theme' sub-directory, and they look nothing like the standard post icons.
My question is ... what are the downsides to my solution? The only one I can think of is that nobody will be able to post anything that contains the string 'src="images/icons/' as it will get the custom_theme bit added to it ... I think I can live with this problem. But are there other things I'm overlooking?
thanks;
