Creates a new icon theme object.
Icon theme objects are used to lookup up an icon by name
in a particular icon theme. Usually, you’ll want to use
[funcGtk
.IconTheme.get_for_display] rather than creating
a new icon theme object for scratch.
The display that this icon theme object is attached to.
The icon names that are supported by the icon theme.
Resource paths that will be looked at when looking for icons, similar to search paths.
The resources are considered as part of the hicolor icon theme
and must be located in subdirectories that are defined in the
hicolor icon theme, such as ``path/16x16/actions/run.png
.
Icons that are directly placed in the resource path instead
of a subdirectory are also considered as ultimate fallback.
The search path for this icon theme.
When looking for icons, GTK will search for a subdirectory of one or more of the directories in the search 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.)
The name of the icon theme that is being used.
Unless set to a different value, this will be the value of
the GtkSettings:gtk-icon-theme-name
property of the GtkSettings
object associated to the display of the icontheme object.
Adds a resource path that will be looked at when looking for icons, similar to search paths.

Creates a binding between source_property
on source
and target_property
on target
.
Whenever the source_property
is changed the target_property
is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags
contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property
on target
changes then the source_property
on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source
or the
target
instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source
and the target
you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source
and target
are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source
and target
outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source
or target
can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.
A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on object
. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object
is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

Lists the names of icons in the current icon theme.
Returns an array of integers describing the sizes at which the icon is available without scaling.
A size of -1 means that the icon is available in a scalable format. The array is zero-terminated.

Gets a property of an object.

In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().

If the available icon_name

If no matching icon is found, then a paintable that renders the

for missing icons you need to use [methodGtk
.IconTheme.has_icon].
Note that you probably want to listen for icon theme changes and update the icon. This is usually done by overriding the GtkWidgetClass.css-changed() function.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name
on object
.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec
on object
.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object
.
Increase the reference count of object,
and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object
has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object
will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().
Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
This function should only be called from object system implementations.
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key
is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key
is kept permanently (even after object
has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key
in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

Sets the resource paths that will be looked at when looking for icons, similar to search paths.
The resources are considered as part of the hicolor icon theme
and must be located in subdirectories that are defined in the
hicolor icon theme, such as path/`16x16/actions/run.png` or
path/scalable/actions/run.svg
.
Icons that are directly placed in the resource path instead of a subdirectory are also considered as ultimate fallback, but they are treated like unthemed icons.
NULL-terminated array of resource paths that are searched for icons
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.)

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
name of the key
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data
from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Decreases the reference count of object
. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure
to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure
is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure,
to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object
during invocation of the
closure
. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object
as closure data.
#GClosure to watch
Gets the icon theme object associated with display
.
If this function has not previously been called for the given
display, a new icon theme object will be created and associated
with the display. Icon theme objects are fairly expensive to create,
so using this function is usually a better choice than calling
[ctorGtk
.IconTheme.new] and setting the display yourself; by using
this function a single icon theme object will be shared between users.

name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the class_init
member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init

GtkIconTheme
provides a facility for loading themed icons.The main reason for using a name rather than simply providing a filename is to allow different icons to be used depending on what “icon theme” is selected by the user. The operation of icon themes on Linux and Unix follows the Icon Theme Specification There is a fallback icon theme, named
hicolor
, where applications should install their icons, but additional icon themes can be installed as operating system vendors and users choose.In many cases, named themes are used indirectly, via [class
Gtk
.Image] rather than directly, but looking up icons directly is also simple. TheGtkIconTheme
object acts as a database of all the icons in the current theme. You can create newGtkIconTheme
objects, but it’s much more efficient to use the standard icon theme of theGtkWidget
so that the icon information is shared with other people looking up icons.
