Method GTK2.IconTheme()->set_search_path()

Method set_search_path

GTK2.IconTheme set_search_path(array path)

Description

Sets the search path for the icon theme object. When looking for an icon theme, GTK2+ will search for a subdirectory of one or more of the directories in path with the same name as the icon theme. (Themes from multiple of the path elemets 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 a legacy feature, and new icons should be put into the default icon theme, which is called DEFAULT_THEME_NAME, rather than directly on the icon path.)
