How do I make WebCit use my prefered freedesktop.org icon theme?

If you want to use for example GNOME file icons in WebCit, install gnome-icon-theme using your systems packaging facility. After installation do cd /usr/local/webcit/static ln -s /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/mimetypes icons You can also use every other Freedesktop.org compliant Icon theme that offers 24x24 mime Icons. You can use other resolutions, but they might not fit into the layout properly.
