The icons should all stay in their respective folders under Reaper/Color Themes. This will eleminate name duplications and organizational headaches But the Theme files themselves should not be in each folder with the icons, but under the same parent (Reaper/Color Themes. So just to be really specific Under the Reaper/Color Themes folder, you will have a series of icon folders, and the a bunch of individual files with the extension "ReaperTheme". I believe it was designed this way so you could use different icon sets with different themes, and not all icon sets include a related Theme. It is the ultimate mix and match.

Look in you Reaper Program folder, and the Reaper Themes folder will look something like this.

Reaper Themes (Folder)
Acool Icons (Folder)
Morecool_ui (Folder)
Acool.ReaperTheme
Morecool.ReaperTheme

When you download one of these "themes", just make sure that you move the ".ReaperTheme" file out of the icon file and into the root folder. Now look under Options/Preferences/Appearance, and right at the top under UI, you have a check box to let the color theme set the icons, or to choose your favorite icon set here, and the use those icons with which ever Theme you choose.

Kinda long winded but I hope it helps.
