IconTheme.loadSurface

Looks up an icon in an icon theme for a particular window scale, scales it to the given size and renders it into a cairo surface. This is a convenience function; if more details about the icon are needed, use gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon() followed by gtk_icon_info_load_surface().

Note that you probably want to listen for icon theme changes and update the icon. This is usually done by connecting to the GtkWidget::style-set signal.

class IconTheme
