Since I installed sylpheed-claws-1.0.0 selecting the icon themes doesn't work. I could select them, but they didn't change. Even a restart of sylpheed-claws doesn't help.

Hmm, works for me. The "Use this" button doesn't work for you?
No, doesn't work. I'll try another fresh user later...
Hm, also oher users couldn't change themes. There're a lot of themes in the list, but nothing happens if I apply them. Also "Use this" has no effect. It seems sylpheed-claws doesn't write a theme enty into sylpheedrc if I change the theme and exit sylpheed-claws. How should a theme entry in sylpheedrc look like?
Example from my sylpheedrc (in the [common] section): pixmap_theme_path=/usr/share/sylpheed-claws/themes/Crystal If you're up for it an strace run when you're trying to change the theme could help.
Can't reproduce here and would definitely need more info (strace, debug log).
