Hi,

I wrote this doc. This is about the Emoticons Theme Manager in 
SystemSettings. The sentence is really bad indeed. "The Design" should 
be "The Theme"

"The Theme will be removed from the disk if you click Apply" <- this I 
can probably change

The second part of the sentence tries to explain that if you do not 
click Apply but leave the System Settings Emoticon page then you get a 
dialog to confirm your change and if you confirm, the Theme will be 
removed from your disk.

Not sure how to explain this. Not sure if I am allowed to change it anyway?
