I agree with you, it does not mean throwing out the old art necessarily, 
but someone has to volunteer to convert them to the new format, and the 
game developer has to add support for loading different 
themes/graphicsets in the game.

Currently we are not tackling this issue of loading differente graphic 
sets in some games (yet), but it should be an option. But how to handle 
it is probably not equal for all games.

In the case of KMahjongg I will add the option of configuring the 
background and tilesets individually, and the same is probably the 
option to be used for card, tile or board games. In the case of 
something like katomic, kwin4 or kbattleship we should probably have a 
configure setting that changes the whole appearance at once.

Maybe someone could make the "classic" katomic SVG, so we can see how 
well this works in practice?
