I really like calibre, it is certainly one of the best pieces of software I have on my computer. Nevertheless it somehow looks alien on my computer because it uses its own icon theme.

I know it is possible to change the icon theme (by putting icons in .config/calibre/resources/images in Linux), but in order for theme designers (Numix, Moka, Nitrux etc...) to create custom icons for calibre, wouldn't it be a good idea to look for system-themed icons before looking for icons in .config/calibre/resources/images/ and /opt/calibre/resources/images/? (Probably only in Linux; I don't know if something similar exists in OSX or Windows)

I suppose a hasThemeIcon in resources.py should do the trick, shouldn't it?
