Native icons in QML on MeeGo Harmattan

kkrzewniak

Hi does anyone know if it's possible to access the icons for the current theme and use them in QML?

Yes, it's possible most icons are living in /usr/share/theme/blanco/meegotouch/icons ;-)

Thanks I knew this actually but was wondering if there was nicer way of doing that than:
@
class PlatformIconProvider : public QDeclarativeImageProvider
{
...
};

QImage PlatformIconProvider::requestImage(const QString &id, QSize *size, const QSize &requestedSize)
{
QImage result;
if(result.load(QLatin1String("/usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icons/") + id + QLatin1String(".png"))) {
qDebug() << "Loaded: " << id;
}
return result;
}@

See the example "gallery":https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components/qt-components/blobs/master/examples/meego/QmlComponentGallery/qml/main.qml they use @background: "image://theme/meegotouch-wallpaper-portrait";@
for /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/images/backgrounds/meegotouch-wallpaper-portrait.jpg

So for example @image://theme/icon-m-common-search@ for /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icons/icon-m-common-search.png.

I confirm that this works for me.

Is that something that's only built into meego, or would something like this work on a Linux desktop (and other OSes)?

Well it looks like I answered my own question, -when you use "image://theme/my_image" on desktop linux (I'm on Ubuntu), it searches in "current_theme/qmltheme/my_image", so you can't expect to be using your GTK or KDE icons like that, only whatever icons are in the qmltheme folder.-

Never mind, I was mistaken, doesn't work at all on Linux, if someone knows of something similar that will, please do tell. Using image://theme/my_image actually just throws the error "invalid image provider"
