Re: Theme API

How are images in a theme referenced.  If we're in a particular page in 
a module and we do images/demo.gif will it go to the themes images 
directory?  Perhaps a servlet that maps to /images/* could load it from 
the proper location based on the theme.  We did something similar to 
this for Usermagnet to load images from each customer.
