ThemedIcon

class ThemedIcon(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Object

Implemented Interfaces: Icon

GThemedIcon is an implementation of Icon that supports icon themes.

GThemedIcon contains a list of all of the icons present in an icon theme, so that icons can be looked up quickly. GThemedIcon does not provide actual pixmaps for icons, just the icon names. Ideally something like choose_icon should be used to resolve the list of names so that fallback icons work nicely with themes that inherit other themes.

Constructors

class ThemedIcon

classmethod new(iconname: str) → ThemedIcon

Creates a new themed icon for iconname.

Parameters:

iconname – a string containing an icon name.

classmethod new_from_names(iconnames: list[str]) → ThemedIcon

Creates a new themed icon for iconnames.

Parameters:

iconnames – an array of strings containing icon names.

classmethod new_with_default_fallbacks(iconname: str) → ThemedIcon

Creates a new themed icon for iconname, and all the names that can be created by shortening iconname at ‘-’ characters.

In the following example, icon1 and icon2 are equivalent:

const char *names[] = {
  "gnome-dev-cdrom-audio",
  "gnome-dev-cdrom",
  "gnome-dev",
  "gnome"
};

icon1 = g_themed_icon_new_from_names (names, 4);
icon2 = g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks ("gnome-dev-cdrom-audio");

Parameters:

iconname – a string containing an icon name
