Structure:

Gio.ThemedIconClass

GThemedIcon is an implementation of [iface`Gio`.Icon] that supports icon themes.

GThemedIcon contains a list of all of the icons present in an icon theme, so that icons can be looked up quickly. GThemedIcon does not provide actual pixmaps for icons, just the icon names. Ideally something like [method`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.

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
};
