I have tried to customize 2.0.4 blue_eagle template and I have found following issue:
Topic icons do not load from the template /blue_eagle/images/topicicons/user but from /media/kunena/topicicons/default/user/

I have checked it on a fresh joomla 2.5.9 installation with sample data and kunena 2.0.4.
It is also the case of this forum. Writing this post I have looked into the page source and found that for example question.png loads from <img src="/media/kunena/topicicons/default/user/question.png" alt="" border="0">

Loading topic icons from /media/kunena/ makes it hard to customize a standard template.

How to fix/change it?

There is already a topic that partly covering the issue:
custom-topics-icons-k-2-0?

From the discussion I understand that is rather a feature request than a bug.

On the other hand for what reason there is topicicon directory in blue_eagel/images?

Thank you for quick reply.
I understand that due to intorduction of html folder the rendering of the forum has changed.

However now topic icons are a part of the main component not template. That partly reduces the idea of template.

Maybe it is worth considering that xml file and icon files would be first looked for in template folder and than in media? It could be similar to profile icons (first checked in template than blue_eagle).

Is it possible to change the topic icon path (or seeking sequence) in the initialize.php file or another template file?

SOLVED:
Topic icons could be loaded from the template folder. You need to copy folders 'system' and 'user' from /media/kunena/topicicons/ to /your_template_folder/images/topicicons/default/
It is important to copy form media/kunena because there are different files than in /blue_eagle/images/topicicons/
Now you can modyfy icons up to your needs.

If you want to add new icons (extand the standard list from media folder) you have to edit topicicons.xml file in media folder. The xml file is read only form that location and not from the template folder.
