NAME
Tk::AppWindow::Ext::Art - Use icon libraries quick & easy
SYNOPSIS
my $app = new Tk::AppWindow(@options,
-extensions => ['Art'],
);
$app->MainLoop;DESCRIPTION
This extension allows Tk::AppWindow easy access to icon libraries used in desktops like KDE and GNOME.
if you are not on Windows, it supports libraries containing scalable vector graphics like Breeze.
On Windows you have to install icon libraries yourself in C:\ProgramData\Icons. You will find plenty of them on Github. Extract an icon set and copy the main folder of the theme (the one that contains the file 'index.theme') to C:\ProgramData\Icons. On Linux you will probably find some icon themes in /usr/share/icons.
The constructor takes a reference to a list of folders where it finds the icons libraries. If you specify nothing, it will assign default values for:
Windows: $ENV{ALLUSERSPROFILE} . '\Icons'. Art will not create the folder if it does not exist.
Others: $ENV{HOME} . '/.local/share/icons', '/usr/share/icons'
