>From my initial exploration it looks as if this is governed by the Free Desktop Icon Theme specification:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#directory_layout "Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order)." There's more to read at the link. I think therefore it'll cover all bases to check the environment for XDG_DATA_DIRS and if it is defined check "XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons/" for the named icon. If not, use the default "/usr/share/pixmaps/". I bet there's some higher level service to call on for this somewhere but I'm not sure where to look right now - gtk maybe? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
