<p>I'm a technical writer and consultant specializing in Linux technologies. This Web page is provided free of charge and with no annoying outside ads; however, I did take time to prepare it, and Web hosting does cost money.

-<li>You can create new icons and place them in the <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory. This will affect the appearance of the OS tags, the utility tags, and so on. The names of these icons are fairly self-explanatory. Be aware that rEFInd expects its icons to be in Apple's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icns">icon image format (ICNS).</a> You can generate such files easily in various Apple programs, or by using the <a href="http://icns.sourceforge.net/">libicns</a> library (and in particular its <tt>png2icns</tt> program) in Linux.</li>
+<li>You can create new icons, place them in a subdirectory of rEFInd's main directory, and tell the program to use the new icons by setting the <tt>icons_dir</tt> token in <tt>refind.conf</tt>. This will affect the appearance of the OS tags, the utility tags, and so on. The names of these icons should match those in the <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory, and are fairly self-explanatory. If an icon is missing from the directory specified by <tt>icons_dir</tt>, rEFInd falls back to the icon from the standard <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory; thus, you can replace just a subset of the standard icons.

+<li>You can do as above, but place your new icons in the default <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory. This method is discouraged because using the <tt>install.sh</tt> script to upgrade rEFInd will replace your customized icons.</li>
<li>You can customize the appearance of an individual boot loader by placing an ICNS file in its directory with the same name as the boot loader but with a <tt>.icns</tt> extension. For instance, if your boot loader program is <tt>elilo.efi</tt>, you can create a custom icon by naming it <tt>elilo.icns</tt>.</li>

-<p>Of course, not all of these elements are likely to be included in themes. A minimal rEFInd theme would include just some changes to the icons in the <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory. A more thorough theme would include a changed background image or selection backgrounds.</p>
+<p>Of course, not all of these elements are likely to be included in themes. A minimal rEFInd theme would provide just a new icons subdirectory, to be set via <tt>icons_dir</tt>. A more thorough theme would include a changed background image or selection backgrounds.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you'd like to design a logo for rEFInd, please do so! I lack the sort of artistic talent required for creating logos, so I just used plain text. I'd like to have something more eye-catching, though. I don't promise to use the first logo I'm given, but if you have some ideas, or would like to discuss some ideas, feel free to <a href="mailto:rodsmith@rodsbooks.com">e-mail me.</a></p>
<p>I used icons from the Oxygen Icons project, both from the <a href="http://deviantdark.deviantart.com/art/Oxygen-Refit-70199755">Oxygen Refit</a> package and from Gentoo's <tt>oxygen-icons</tt> package. These icons supplemented or replaced icons that rEFIt used; however, many OS icons (such as those for Windows and Mac OS) are carried over from rEFIt. I've also used a handful of icons for individual Linux distributions from other sources—usually documentation associated with the distribution in question.</p>
-<p>In addition to this default icon set, I've received word of one other rEFInd theme:</p>
