Backgrounds are not loaded and more

[Briseur]

Some themes are needing backgrounds that are not available in theme. Others like Stargate themes have wrong path. If you try to load Stargate theme you get a black background. Worst if you go to Backgrounds app to select the right one, it is suggesting the list of SG wallpapers as expected but since trying to load them from wrong directory they will all end black. You have to go through Others... for each one.

Some themes are needing decorators that are not available in theme nor as external package.
My thought is that a least one more decorator should be provided by Haiku to demonstrate functionality (I guess a really flat one would be nice. BeOS has only the tab flat.), others should be provided as packages containing one or a pack. So if the theme requires one, it can be installed as dependency.
Most common seems to be Smoke, if someone has courage to port it..

Some themes are needing fonts that are not available in theme nor as external package.
I guess some were the default fonts used at this time. In this case their entries could be deleted or replaced with actual ones. Most common should be packaged and installed as dependencies, others should be included and installed in same time the theme is.

Some themes are needing a screensaver that is not available in theme nor as external package.
Most common seems to be Flip..

Some themes are needing sounds that are not available in theme nor as external package.
Most common are old BeOS sounds. It's time for Haiku to open a contest to include some of it's own.

Some themes need a check against Qt apps as color schemes may cause problems with main menu bar. A warning would be welcome. Perhaps is it something to do in ThemeManager?

Yeah, paths are different between BeOS and Haiku… I'll patch them but a proper solution would be to have addons use placeholders for find_directory constants.
