Method

GtkIconThemelookup_icon

Declaration [src]

GtkIconPaintable*
gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon (
  GtkIconTheme* self,
  const char* icon_name,
  const char** fallbacks,
  int size,
  int scale,
  GtkTextDirection direction,
  GtkIconLookupFlags flags
)

Description [src]

Looks up a named icon for a desired size and window scale, returning a GtkIconPaintable.

The icon can then be rendered by using it as a GdkPaintable, or you can get information such as the filename and size.

If the available icon_name is not available and fallbacks are provided, they will be tried in order.

If no matching icon is found, then a paintable that renders the “missing icon” icon is returned. If you need to do something else for missing icons you need to use gtk_icon_theme_has_icon().

Note that you probably want to listen for icon theme changes and update the icon. This is usually done by overriding the GtkWidgetClass.css-changed() function.
