GTK actually uses the system icons defined by the user's theme, i.e., you provide it the mime type and it provides you the icon associated to that mime type in the current user's theme. Those icons are the ones that are used for instance in Nautilus. Almost the same goes for the toolbar: AFAIK, icons are taken from the user's theme and are directly provided by GTK. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
