Iconset does not update when changed from within a widget

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A bug exists when the app is opened from a widget and the iconset is changed in 
preferences, the iconset never gets updated in the forecast screen.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Emweather from a widget.
2. Go into preferences 
3. Edit the current theme.
4. Change the icon set, click save .

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

At the forcast screen, notice the iconset has not changed. However, if the app 
is opened normally  (not from the widget), the iconset is refreshed if the 
same process is followed.

What version of EmWeather are you using? What is your OS API?
EmWeather v0.9.6.1
Gingerbread v2.3.6

Thank you for making this issue request.

Currently, the themes for the widgets and the main application are considered 
differently.  So, if you open the app from a widget and change the icon set, it 
will change the icon set for the app but not for the widget.  In order to 
change the icon set for the widget, you must go to the widget configuration 
pane (triple-click in older versions, click on the gear on newer versions) and 
edit that theme.

The reason for this is because the themes are quite different between widgets 
and the app internally.  Also, I like using one icon-set on my desktop and a 
different one in the app, for readability.

I tested this with the lastest version and it seems to working as above (ie. 
changing the icon-set within the app works even if I launch from a widget, 
though it doesn't change the icon-set for the widget).

I am closing this issue as "will not fix", if I have misunderstood the issue or 
you think I should change this behaviour, please re-open it or email me.

Thanks,
Emilie
