Hi,

I've been trying Empathy 2.27.3 and while the ability to use adium themes is great, it's currently very difficult to select them:

-you have to uncompress the theme.
-then point empathy to the uncompressed folder.
-if you later erase that folder, you lose that theme.

I think following the example of gnome-appearance-properties would be better. Please see the attached mockup.

In the mockup:

-you can add a new theme by clicking "install" and choosing the compressed file. Or even by dragging it to the main window. Empathy takes care of everything else.
-you should get a message: new theme has been installed. Do you want to use it?
-it should be applied right away, no need to close and re-open your conversations.
