Surely it must be possible, can anyone help?
A symbolic icon isn't anything magical. It's just an SVG with replaceable colors. If you use St.Icon with a FileIcon, it should just work, assuming the file exists. All St.IconType.SYMBOLIC will try to do will be to append '-symbolic' to parts of the icon. We should probably scrap that code at some point - it was put in so we would have full-color fallbacks when not all of the symbolic icons were created yet, and those days are long gone :) > Cheers, > - Tim. > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > gnome-shell-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list -- Jasper _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
