Class Details¶

class Gio.ThemedIcon(**kwargs)¶

Bases:	`GObject.Object`, `Gio.Icon`
Abstract:	No
Structure:	`Gio.ThemedIconClass`

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

classmethod new(iconname)[source]¶

Parameters:	iconname (`str`) – a string containing an icon name.
Returns:	a new `Gio.ThemedIcon`.
Return type:	`Gio.ThemedIcon`

Creates a new themed icon for iconname.

classmethod new_from_names(iconnames)[source]¶

Parameters:	iconnames ([`str`]) – an array of strings containing icon names.
Returns:	a new `Gio.ThemedIcon`
Return type:	`Gio.ThemedIcon`

Creates a new themed icon for iconnames.

classmethod new_with_default_fallbacks(iconname)[source]¶

Parameters:	iconname (`str`) – a string containing an icon name
Returns:	a new `Gio.ThemedIcon`.
Return type:	`Gio.ThemedIcon`

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

In the following example, icon1 and icon2 are equivalent:

const char *names[] = {
  "gnome-dev-cdrom-audio",
  "gnome-dev-cdrom",
  "gnome-dev",
  "gnome"
};

icon1 = g_themed_icon_new_from_names (names, 4);
icon2 = g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks ("gnome-dev-cdrom-audio");

append_name(iconname)[source]¶

Parameters:	iconname (`str`) – name of icon to append to list of icons from within self.

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

Note that doing so invalidates the hash computed by prior calls to Gio.Icon.hash().

get_names()[source]¶

Returns:	a list of icon names.
Return type:	[`str`]

Gets the names of icons from within self.

prepend_name(iconname)[source]¶

Parameters:	iconname (`str`) – name of icon to prepend to list of icons from within self.

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

Note that doing so invalidates the hash computed by prior calls to Gio.Icon.hash().

New in version 2.18.

Property Details¶

Gio.ThemedIcon.props.name¶

Name:	`name`
Type:	`str`
Default Value:	`None`
Flags:	`WRITABLE`, `CONSTRUCT_ONLY`

The icon name.

Gio.ThemedIcon.props.names¶

Name:	`names`
Type:	[`str`]
Default Value:	`[]`
Flags:	`READABLE`, `WRITABLE`, `CONSTRUCT_ONLY`

A None-terminated array of icon names.

Gio.ThemedIcon.props.use_default_fallbacks¶

Name:	`use-default-fallbacks`
Type:	`bool`
Default Value:	`False`
Flags:	`READABLE`, `WRITABLE`, `CONSTRUCT_ONLY`

Whether to use the default fallbacks found by shortening the icon name at ‘-’ characters. If the “names” array has more than one element, ignores any past the first.

For example, if the icon name was “gnome-dev-cdrom-audio”, the array would become

{
  "gnome-dev-cdrom-audio",
  "gnome-dev-cdrom",
  "gnome-dev",
  "gnome",
  NULL
};
