Unsolved How do I access / load icon in QtCreator ? From "theme path" to " theme name "?
-
Here is my sample code to access "New" icon.
const QIcon newIcon = QIcon::fromTheme("document-new", QIcon(":/images/new.png"));
I am looking for basic bluetooth icon.
I know it exists in my system as "bluetooth.png".I can retrieve "theme" path
qDebug() << QIcon::themeSearchPaths();
How do I get form "theme path" to " theme name "?
Or do I have to ?QIcon RTFM is not much help.
THANKS

Freedesktop specification does not specify any icons for Bluetooth. So getting one through
fromTheme()
will not work.Looking through KDE code for bluedevil, I noticed these:
if (deviceConnected) { return "preferences-system-bluetooth-activated"; } else if (!btManager.bluetoothOperational) { return "preferences-system-bluetooth-inactive"; } return "preferences-system-bluetooth";
Source: https://github.com/KDE/bluedevil/blob/master/src/applet/package/contents/ui/logic.js
I have no idea if it will work, but it might be worth a try.

@sierdzio Thanks.
It looks as I could do this the "create your own icon" way so I can reuse existing QIcon code.I found few python code examples
Basically use any "bluetooth.png" icon currently on my system.
Still looking for some explanation why I need "theme".
It looks as they are using "theme" as some kind of "chapter"... or directory.Basically - if I am looking for an icon to represent a "bullet train" - how do I correlate that to "theme"?

I don't understand the why you mention theme name at all, sorry. "fromTheme" simply means "give me an icon from system theme" or "give me a standard system icon". The method returns an icon (ready to use), not path - there is no need to convert icon to theme or anything like that. Or I'm missing your point.
