Changing Oracle APEX calendar icon

Sometimes I stumble across little features that after a moment I realise - hey, that wasn't in the last version. It's good to see the APEX team tackling little improvements as well as the big ones, ever maturing product.

Then I stumble on something that I discover is not a new feature after all, just one I never really paid attention to.

When editing a theme, you can select a different icon to use as the date picker.

So instead of the elegant default:




you could use the ugly retro looking #IMAGE_PREFIX#date.gif



And the reason why I know it's from 3.x, Paulo Vale picked it up in green 2008.
