Method

GtkIconThemelookup_icon

since: 2.4

Declaration [src]

GtkIconInfo*
gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon (
  GtkIconTheme* icon_theme,
  const gchar* icon_name,
  gint size,
  GtkIconLookupFlags flags
)

Description [src]

Looks up a named icon and returns a GtkIconInfo containing information such as the filename of the icon. The icon can then be rendered into a pixbuf using gtk_icon_info_load_icon(). (gtk_icon_theme_load_icon() combines these two steps if all you need is the pixbuf.)

When rendering on displays with high pixel densities you should not use a size multiplied by the scaling factor returned by functions like gdk_window_get_scale_factor(). Instead, you should use gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon_for_scale(), as the assets loaded for a given scaling factor may be different.
