 ===== Custom theme using  QIcon::fromTheme() =====
-The static function ''QIcon::fromTheme()'' used above can also be used with custom, locally defined icon themes that are placed into Qt Resource files((This idea comes from http://tkrotoff.blogspot.com/2010/02/qiconfromtheme-under-windows.html)). To accomplish this we need to do three things: Create a custom icon theme, create a Qt Resource with the theme, and implement the code needed to use the custom theme.

Themes defined this way can be used across all platforms. To accomplish this we need to do three things: Create a custom icon theme, create a Qt Resource with the theme, and implement the code needed to use the custom theme.
 To describe the process, I will use an example of a custom theme that provides icons in a variety of sizes for our example application. The icons themselves are taken from the raucously popular, public domain Tango Project((http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project)) using files provided in Ubuntu's 10.10 tango-icon-theme package((http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/tango-icon-theme)). Because unlike Bill Bruford I am not good at naming things((Bruford, Bill. "Who Managed the Manager?" In //Bill Bruford: the autobiography : Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks, and more.// London: Jawbone Press, 2009. 60-72. )), I call the custom theme, "TangoMFK".
