gio.ThemedIcon Properties

"name"Write/Contruct Only The icon name. Default value: None
"names"Read/Write/Contruct Only A list of icon names.
"use-default-fallbacks"Read/Write/Contruct Only Whether to use the default fallbacks found by shortening the icon name at '-' characters. If the "names" array has more than one element, ignores any past the first.

Description

gio.ThemedIcon is an implementation of gio.Icon that supports icon themes. GThemedIcon contains a list of all of the icons present in an icon theme, so that icons can be looked up quickly.

gio.ThemedIcon does not provide actual pixmaps for icons, just the icon names. Ideally something like gtk.IconTheme.choose_icon() should be used to resolve the list of names so that fallback icons work nicely with themes that inherit other themes
