Crate linicon

Look up icons and icon theme info on Linux.

This library does not currently provide a way to get the user's currently selected icon theme. To the best of my knowledge this process is not standardized, and varies across DEs. I may attempt to add such a function in the future.

Examples

Find an icon for Wireshark from the Faenza theme.

let wireshark_icon = linicon::lookup_icon("Faenza", "wireshark", 64, 1)
    .unwrap()
    .next()
    .unwrap()
    .unwrap();
println!("{:?}", wireshark_icon);

Find all of the icons for Wireshark from the Faenza theme.

use linicon::lookup_icon;
let wireshark_icons: Vec<_> = lookup_icon("Faenza", "wireshark", 64, 1)
    .unwrap()
    .collect();
println!("{:#?}", wireshark_icons);
