Robert,

Thanks for the heads up on the paths. I actually intended for my guide
to work on the Elkin theme because transparent icons look way better
against white/light backgrounds. When I started assembling my
instructions, I had decided to give instructions for modifying the
default theme, then changed my mind and forgot to update the paths. So
I've fixed the documentation now, and it is consistent in modifying
the Elkin theme, not default.

I looked over the problem you mentioned with the recordings page. If
you're working on the default theme, I think your problem might have
been that my instructions had pointed you to edit the stylesheet for
the elkin theme. But I double checked my directions and those code
changes do work, and keep the icons properly sized and positioned. If
you would, please give it another try and let me know if it's still
not playing nice.
