Document using -symbolic icons
Problem
I've seen a couple times developers including gresourced icons in dark and light variants instead of using the -symbolic namespace. We don't current document this so it's not obvious that this is a built-in feature
Proposal
Document:
- [ ] using
-symbolicnamespace for automatic dark/light icons - [ ] coloring
-symbolicicons using.accentin Gtk.CSS - [ ] coloring
-symbolicicons using semantic colors likeerrororsuccess - [ ] coloring
.accenticons using named colors likeredorgreen
Prior Art (Optional)
No response
Could this be solved by expanding the Icon Browser app with preview of error / accented symbolic icons? If we had that docs could just mention the option and direct the reader to check live examples in the app, instead of explaining everything with text.
I think expanding the icon browser as an interactive example is good but I think we still need to document how developers can create and ship their own custom symbolic icons in addition to using the provided system ones
