Yes I'm not this will be possible in the first instance, because icons have to be compiled into the DLL resources at compile time. In the long run, it might be possible for some of our dialogs to use theme icons instead, but we'll still need a no-theme fallback of some kind. Also, the end result will likely be a mixed because even if our dialogs use themes, app code will often still load icons by parsing DLL resources, which can't be dynamic.
Making the icon(s) configurable is not that hard but it should be done the Windows way. Windows XP has one set of stock icons compiled into the shell / commond dialog dlls or so but all (?) icons can be overridden by theme files (.msstyles). That's the way it should work on Wine as well. I would prefer to have the Tango icons be the stock icons.
