## Detailed Description

Icon theming support ThemedIcon is an implementation of Gio::Icon that supports icon themes.

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

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gio::ThemedIcon::~ThemedIcon | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Gio::ThemedIcon::ThemedIcon | ( | const std::string & | iconname,
|  | bool | use_default_callbacks = `false`
| ) |  |

explicit protected

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

Parameters

  iconname | A string containing an icon name.
  use_default_callbacks | Whether to use all the names that can be created by shortening iconname at '-' characters.

## Member Function Documentation

void Gio::ThemedIcon::append_name | ( | const std::string & | iconname | ) |

Append a name to the list of icons from within icon.

<note> Note that doing so invalidates the hash computed by prior calls to g_icon_hash(). </note>

Parameters

  iconname | Name of icon to append to list of icons from within icon.

static Glib::RefPtr<ThemedIcon> Gio::ThemedIcon::create | ( | const std::string & | iconname,
|  | bool | use_default_callbacks = `false`
| ) |  |

static

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

Parameters

  iconname | A string containing an icon name.
  use_default_callbacks | Whether to use all the names that can be created by shortening iconname at '-' characters.

Glib::StringArrayHandle Gio::ThemedIcon::get_names | ( |  | ) | const

static GType Gio::ThemedIcon::get_type | ( |  | ) |

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GThemedIcon* Gio::ThemedIcon::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GThemedIcon* Gio::ThemedIcon::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GThemedIcon* Gio::ThemedIcon::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

void Gio::ThemedIcon::prepend_name | ( | const std::string & | iconname | ) |

Prepend a name to the list of icons from within icon.

<note> Note that doing so invalidates the hash computed by prior calls to g_icon_hash(). </note>

Since glibmm 2.18:

Parameters

  iconname | Name of icon to prepend to list of icons from within icon.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< std::vector<Glib::ustring> > Gio::ThemedIcon::property_names | ( |  | ) | const

An array containing the icon names.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gio::ThemedIcon::property_use_default_fallbacks | ( |  | ) | const

Whether to use default fallbacks found by shortening the name at '-' characters.

Ignores names after the first if multiple names are given.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::ThemedIcon > wrap | ( | GThemedIcon * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |

related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
