Re: icon art etc

[Benjamin M. <be...@me...>]

ok, I have already created a theme and I have it up and running.  Doesn't 
look to bad if I do say myself.  Upon further designing of the "theme" I 
relized that the grid icon approch isn't the best one, but a 
pure vertical is a much better design.  The human eye can read vertically 
much faster then it can horizontally and much much faster then a grid.  If 
possible having the smaller vertical listing always on the left.  The only 
way I was able to find to do this is to use frames.  I can include stuff in 
the top of the body and the bottom, but I can't include a cgi page (or can 
I?)  If possible I would like to not have to use frames, can the feature be 
added in the theme for bodycgiinclude for body top and bottom?  This would 
all for much earlier web apps to view my "theme" and cleaner html.  

Where are the header and footer functions located?  Will it be easy to 
overload them in my theme?

Because in my "theme" I have a listing on the left I do not use the icons off 
the top, but I would like to have them placed to the left of the module name 
and also I wish to dump the module help data at the bottom of the module (in 
the footer)

I presume that all of the icons currently have a bsd licence with them?
