We have a classic lack of communication, as my understanding of  
theming could only kindly be described as vague, and more  
realistically as pitiful !-(

Balsa has always used Gtk's stock system to manage the Balsa  
icons, adding them to a GtkIconFactory.  They are then available  
for making pixbufs or widgets in the same way as Gtk's standard  
stock items.  I just kinda hoped that Gtk would support icon  
themes transparently.  Apparently that works only partially.

Balsa uses different methods to create the icons in different  
parts of the display.  If you could list the specific places  
where they're still not responding to theme changes, we might be  
able to track down the cause.

Best,
