People have suggested some ways to do this that work, but I find them
a bit hackish. It's a few more lines of code, but I think it's better
to register your own stock icons that reuse images from existing stock
items. This also gives you accelerators and themability.
def register_stock_icons():
items = [('pg-create', '_Create', 0, 0, None),
('pg-alter', '_Alter', 0, 0, None),
('pg-drop', '_Drop', 0, 0, None),
]
# We're too lazy to make our own icons, so we use regular stock icons.
aliases = [('pg-create', gtk.STOCK_NEW),
('pg-alter', gtk.STOCK_PROPERTIES),
('pg-drop', gtk.STOCK_DELETE),
]
gtk.stock_add(items)
factory = gtk.IconFactory()
factory.add_default()
for new_stock, alias in aliases:
icon_set = gtk.icon_factory_lookup_default(alias)
factory.add(new_stock, icon_set)
if __name__ == '__main__':
win = gtk.Window()
win.connect('delete-event', gtk.mainquit)
register_stock_icons()
bb = gtk.HButtonBox()
win.add(bb)
# Show our relabeled icons.
b_create = gtk.Button(stock='pg-create')
b_alter = gtk.Button(stock='pg-alter')
b_drop = gtk.Button(stock='pg-drop')
bb.add(b_create)
bb.add(b_alter)
bb.add(b_drop)
# The stock items we copied are still available unchanged.
bb.add(gtk.Button(stock=gtk.STOCK_NEW))
bb.add(gtk.Button(stock=gtk.STOCK_PROPERTIES))
bb.add(gtk.Button(stock=gtk.STOCK_DELETE))
win.show_all()
gtk.main()
