In my case, among other things (custom fonts, images) I mostly use pyrcc
for my own icon theme with about 500 icons, which allows me to use
QIcon.fromTheme('icon-name'), which I use it *a lot*: mostly because I find
it much simpler and easier to read than the full image path constructor,
but also because it allows to use the fall back mechanism (under Linux, at
least) if an icon is not in the selected theme, and finally to use
different icons according to the icon size.

Maybe I'm not aware of other ways to use the resource system, as I always
used pyrcc. If that won't be available, will setThemeSearchPaths work
anyway? Will all other ":/" resource loading keep their functionalities
when using local relative paths (or importlib.resources)?

Thanks,
Maurizio
