get-icon-path

Get icon path from theme - freedesktop spec

An alternative to hardcode tray for electron apps !

What's this

A lot of electron apps use hardcoded icons for tray icon, such as discord, rambox, etc... This module allows those apps to use icons from icons themes installed for Gnome, KDE... It was originally developped for rambox. It's based on freedesktop icon theme specification.

USAGE

npm i --save get-icon-path

const { getIcon, getIconSync } = require('get-icon-path')
getIcon({ iconName: 'rambox-notification', size: 32 }, 'test.path', function (e) {
  console.log(e, 'Promised')
})
getIcon('rambox-notification', 'test.path', function (e) {
  //e will equals to 'test.path' if no icons is found
  console.log(e, 'Promised')
})
var res = getIconSync({ iconName: 'rambox-notification' }, 'text.path')
console.log(res, 'Non promised')
