> Hello all,

> of a GtkSpinButton) aren't displayed. When I run it, the program prints a
> warning saying that it can't find the "hicolor" theme, and all icons are
> replaced by a "missing icon" symbol.

> I suppose that if I installed the theme on the target system, it would
> work (although I'm not sure in which directories GTK+ looks for it). But as
> I wrote above, I want the icons to be embedded in the executable, so that

> GTK+ 2, I compiled several programs and they all work without issues. But I
> haven't been able to make it work with GTK+ 3, so I'm asking for your help.

> The problem is demonstrated by the attached screenshots:
> - a window containing a GtkSpinButton (spinbutton-gtk3.png)
> - a window containing a GtkToolbar with two buttons (toolbar-gtk3.png)
> - the latter program rewritten for GTK+ 2 (toolbar-gtk2.png). As you can
> see, here the icons are displayed correctly.
> I'm also attaching the source code of those examples.
>
> I've tried to dig into the GTK+ sources to find where the icons are
> generated, but got lost. I found that there's a program called
> gtk-update-icon-cache that I guess might have to do with that, but I didn't
> understand how it's supposed to be used and where it's called during the
> build process (if it's called at all).

> To reproduce what I did, go to http:/mxe.cc/ and follow the instructions.
> The GTK+ 3 library is configured with the following options (specified in
> the src/gtk3.mk file in the MXE source tree):
>
> --disable-glibtest --disable-cups --disable-test-print-backend
> --disable-gtk-doc --disable-man --with-included-immodules
> --enable-win32-backend
>
> MXE also applies a few patches to the GTK+ sources (file
> src/gtk3-1-fixes.patch).
>
> Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
