pub fn system_icon_theme() -> &'static strExpand description
Detect the icon theme name for the current platform.
Returns the name of the icon theme that provides the actual icon files:
- macOS / iOS:
"sf-symbols"(no user-configurable icon theme) - Windows:
"segoe-fluent"(no user-configurable icon theme) - Linux: DE-specific detection (e.g.,
"breeze-dark","Adwaita") - Other:
"material"(bundled fallback)
On Linux, the detection method depends on the desktop environment:
- KDE: reads
[Icons] Themefromkdeglobals - GNOME/Budgie:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme - Cinnamon:
gsettings get org.cinnamon.desktop.interface icon-theme - XFCE:
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/IconThemeName - MATE:
gsettings get org.mate.interface icon-theme - LXQt: reads
icon_themefrom~/.config/lxqt/lxqt.conf - Unknown: tries KDE, then GNOME gsettings, then
"hicolor"
ยงExamples
use native_theme::system_icon_theme;
let theme = system_icon_theme();
// On a KDE system with Breeze Dark: "breeze-dark"
// On macOS: "sf-symbols"
