## Description

GThemedIcon is an implementation of GIcon 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 `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.

## Details

### GThemedIcon

    typedef struct _GThemedIcon GThemedIcon;

An implementation of GIcon for themed icons.

### g_themed_icon_new ()

    GIcon *             g_themed_icon_new                   (const char *iconname);

Creates a new themed icon for `iconname`.

`iconname` : | a string containing an icon name.
Returns : | a new GThemedIcon.

### g_themed_icon_new_from_names ()

    GIcon *             g_themed_icon_new_from_names        (char **iconnames,
                                                             int len);

Creates a new themed icon for `iconnames`.

`iconnames` : | an array of strings containing icon names.
`len` : | the length of the `iconnames` array, or -1 if `iconnames` is `NULL`-terminated
Returns : | a new GThemedIcon

### g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks ()

    GIcon *             g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks
                                                            (const char *iconname);

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");

`iconname` : | a string containing an icon name
Returns : | a new GThemedIcon.

### g_themed_icon_prepend_name ()

    void                g_themed_icon_prepend_name          (GThemedIcon *icon,
                                                             const char *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()`.

`icon` : | a GThemedIcon
`iconname` : | name of icon to prepend to list of icons from within `icon`.

Since 2.18

### g_themed_icon_append_name ()

    void                g_themed_icon_append_name           (GThemedIcon *icon,
                                                             const char *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()`.

`icon` : | a GThemedIcon
`iconname` : | name of icon to append to list of icons from within `icon`.

## Property Details

### The `"name"` property

      "name"                     gchar*                : Write / Construct Only

The icon name.

Default value: NULL

### The `"names"` property

      "names"                    GStrv*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

A `NULL`-terminated array of icon names.

### The `"use-default-fallbacks"` property

      "use-default-fallbacks"    gboolean              : Read / Write / 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
    };

Default value: FALSE
