There are more ways to print a string, like various puts functions. It
doesn't need to be a splash. You can even add scrolling for long
filenames on small screens.

I see, I don't like it though. The mechanism seems rather wobby and
wasted special casing adding much complexity. What's the gain really? If
a theme from the theme site doesn't work, the user can just re-download
the package.

Additionally, I don't see why icons and fonts are handled differently,
asking for deletion of fonts also is the better way IMO.
