I'm currently writing a gnome-shell extension that I want to add panel icons to. None of the default icons are appropriate, so I have created my own.
Now, I could (presumably) hard-code the path to my default icons, but that's bad form because then no theme can possibly override them. So I believe I should instead use an icon name, one that doesn't already exist. I'm thinking "tiling-window-layout-horizontal" as an example. What files to I have to put in what path (I'm thinking $XDG_DATA_DIRS will come into it) so that: - my icon will *always* be available, regardless of the user's preferred theme - the user's preferred theme can provide their own implementation of "tiling-window-layout-horizontal" Note: I can't change files in system directories, I'm looking for something I can make happen via an environment variable. Making an icon set doesn't sound right, because then the user would have to select it. And adding files to a default theme also sounds brittle, because they would then presmably not be used if the user picks a different theme. Unless there is a hard-coded default fallback, but even then can you add a single file to a default without modifying system directories?
