These are all things that we would need to be able to do to create the theme changes that have been mocked up.  As new limitations emerge I'll add them to this list as well.

**Showing both in the theme manager might be difficult, need to follow up on the


*Ability to package different .ico files for different versions of Windows
= Possible Theme Re-factoring =
**First icon embedded in the firefox.exe, so we would have to have different exe files.
**However, we can control the icon used for shortcuts (start menu, quick launch, desktop) so that very well could be good enough, especially if we are drawing our own title bar so can use whatever


*{{bug|506124}} Glass support (already well discussed and on track, but a platform capability nonetheless)  
*Icons: refactor how the mozilla platform deals with icons
** Some interesting cases with personas {{bug|513170}} and also private browsing {{bug|513418}}
