Well, when you said no hacking, I thought you meant no template edits, because your hack and mine does the same template edits, but mine requires more coding. And IMO, your one requires more work as you need to make so many copies of the base images.

TheAnt wrote a hack similar to the one that you mentioned, and I decided to write mine because I didnt think that was convienent enough. IMO, it is not a very good way of doing this. I think its too much work, and whenever you add a new forum, you will need extra icons even if you dont want those to be customized. And communities with more than 20 forums will have a lot of images. And if you have more than one style, its twice as much as work.

So to make the hack more user friendly and more convienent, I have decided to use the conditional statements, to make it "Advanced"
