Problem with QIcon::fromTheme()

[RazrFalcon]

from docs:
"Or if you want to provide a guaranteed fallback for platforms that do not support theme icons, you can use the second argument:" @QIcon undoicon = QIcon::fromTheme("edit-undo", QIcon(":/undo.png"));@ so on Windows will be used only fallback icons, right?
But if I use such code in my .pro file:
@win32:RESOURCES += icons.qrc@
I get such errors on Linux:
@Cannot open file ':/undo.png', because: Unknown error@

How to tell Qt use system icons on linux and icons from resource on Windows?
Thanks.

Did you actually put an undo.png into the resource file? And is it accessible via that path? Can you show the contents of icons.qrc, please.

Of course all icons presents in resource file.
But if I'm on Linux - I do not want to compile resource into binary, I want to use system icons only.

Ah, sorry, I misread the first post. The default icon must be provided as a ready-to-use icon. So, if you do not provide the resource file on Linux, the icon cannot be created - hence the error message. So you would either need to #ifdef the code and leave out the default for Linux or add your default set of icons to the resource file on Linux too. I would go for the latter, as I would not bet that in any and every case you'll have system icons on Linux too, so providing your default set is a good idea. The additional size is negligible, in my opinion.
