IconTheme.lookupIcon

gtk.icon_info.IconInfo lookupIcon(string iconName, int size, gtk.types.IconLookupFlags flags)

Looks up a named icon and returns a #GtkIconInfo containing information such as the filename of the icon. The icon can then be rendered into a pixbuf using [gtk.icon_info.IconInfo.loadIcon]. ([gtk.icon_theme.IconTheme.loadIcon] combines these two steps if all you need is the pixbuf.)

When rendering on displays with high pixel densities you should not use a size multiplied by the scaling factor returned by functions like [gdk.window.Window.getScaleFactor]. Instead, you should use [gtk.icon_theme.IconTheme.lookupIconForScale], as the assets loaded for a given scaling factor may be different.

Parameters

iconNamethe name of the icon to lookup
sizedesired icon size
flagsflags modifying the behavior of the icon lookup

Returns

a #GtkIconInfo object

containing information about the icon, or null if the icon wasn’t found.
