Method

GtkIconThemeset_search_path

since: 2.4

Declaration [src]

void
gtk_icon_theme_set_search_path (
  GtkIconTheme* icon_theme,
  const gchar** path,
  gint n_elements
)

Description [src]

Sets the search path for the icon theme object. When looking for an icon theme, GTK+ will search for a subdirectory of one or more of the directories in path with the same name as the icon theme containing an index.theme file. (Themes from multiple of the path elements are combined to allow themes to be extended by adding icons in the user’s home directory.)

In addition if an icon found isn’t found either in the current icon theme or the default icon theme, and an image file with the right name is found directly in one of the elements of path, then that image will be used for the icon name. (This is legacy feature, and new icons should be put into the fallback icon theme, which is called hicolor, rather than directly on the icon path.).

Available since: 2.4

Parameters

path

Type: An array of filename

Array of directories that are searched for icon themes.

The length of the array is specified in the n_elements argument.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

Each element is a file system path, using the OS encoding.

n_elements

Type: gint

Number of elements in path.
