Hi,
When putting icons in a GResource, is it recommended to add an index.theme too?
I had a look at a few apps, they don’t use an index, is it a good practice or can the glib reliably deal without one?
No, it’s not necessary.
GLib has nothing to do with icon themes: GTK is responsible for loading the images.
The index.theme file is meant to be used to describe the icon theme structure on disk, to allow for non-standard paths; icon assets inside GResources are already following the theme structure, so they don’t need an index file.
