How to add forum icons to theme?

I've been using vanilla for awhile, and kinda wanted to create my own theme. So I followed the instructions in the quickstart, and the theme works. But I wanted to know, is there a way to have custom forum icons for read/unread? The example of this is like phpbb and some of the other forum softwares availible. Does anyone know how to do this properly through the css or such?

Sure, just use CSS:
.Item.Read { // Add your "Read" icon here } .Item.Unread { // Add your "Unread" icon here } .Item.New { // Add your "New" icon here }
A full example of the actual icon code could look like this:
.Item.Read { // Uses a 48x48px icon background-image: url("path/to/icon"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: /* Adjust position if necessary */; padding-left: 56px; /* Add 48px to the existing 8px padding */ }

you probably want to explain this. where? on unread message itself in the discussion. instead of the words unread in link? in what version of vanilla?
etc. etc.
A sample image showing what you are looking for, would be helpful.
that said you could modify

Well I mean with how you have on phpbb or the others read/unread icons besides categories and such. I'm using the v2 from the downloads.
