Method

StIconInfoload_symbolic

Declaration [src]

GdkPixbuf*
st_icon_info_load_symbolic (
  StIconInfo* icon_info,
  StIconColors* colors,
  gboolean* was_symbolic,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Loads an icon, modifying it to match the system colours for the foreground, success, warning and error colors provided. If the icon is not a symbolic one, the function will return the result from st_icon_info_load_icon().

This allows loading symbolic icons that will match the system theme.

Unless you are implementing a widget, you will want to use g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks() to load the icon.

As implementation details, the icon loaded needs to be of SVG type, contain the “symbolic” term as the last component of the icon name, and use the “fg”, “success”, “warning” and “error” CSS styles in the SVG file itself.

See the Symbolic Icons Specification for more information about symbolic icons.

Parameters

colors

Type: StIconColors

A StIconColors representing the foreground, warning and error colors.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
was_symbolic

Type: gboolean*

A #gboolean, returns whether the loaded icon was a symbolic one and whether the fg color was applied to it.

The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: GdkPixbuf

A GdkPixbuf representing the loaded icon.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
