Description

The icon macro displays an icon of the current icon set or a chosen icon set, with an optional fallback to the default icon theme when the icon doesn't exist. It can be used to add icons to UI elements and, e.g., also for documentation purposes to show which icon a user needs to click.

Usage

The basic usage is to just specify an icon name to display an icon from the current icon theme, all other parameters are optional. Refer to the documentation of the icon theme application for a list of icons and icon sets.
