gtkIconThemeLoadIcon: gtkIconThemeLoadIcon
Description
Looks up an icon in an icon theme, scales it to the given size
and renders it into a pixbuf. This is a convenience function;
if more details about the icon are needed, use
gtkIconThemeLookupIcon followed by gtkIconInfoLoadIcon.Usage
gtkIconThemeLoadIcon(object, icon.name, size, flags, .errwarn = TRUE)
Arguments
icon.name
the name of the icon to lookup
size
the desired icon size. The resulting icon may not be
exactly this size; see gtkIconInfoLoadIcon. flags
flags modifying the behavior of the icon lookup
.errwarn
Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently
Value
A list containing the following elements:
- retval
- [
GdkPixbuf] the rendered icon; this may be a newly created icon
or a new reference to an internal icon, so you must not modify
the icon. NULL if the icon isn't found. error- Location to store error information on failure, or
NULL. [ allow-none ]
Details
Note that you probably want to listen for icon theme changes and
update the icon. This is usually done by connecting to the
GtkWidget::style-set signal. If for some reason you do not want to
update the icon when the icon theme changes, you should consider
using gdkPixbufCopy to make a private copy of the pixbuf
returned by this function. Otherwise GTK+ may need to keep the old
icon theme loaded, which would be a waste of memory.
