How to apply CSS class to Gio Icon in Gtk Entry?

Platform
1

Seems Icon is not widget, so can’t apply CSS class to it.

added with Entry.set_icon_from_gicon - any option to colorize?

GIcon is not a widget, and thus has no style; it’s just an interface for objects representing an icon asset.

You style the entry widget: GtkEntry: CSS nodes.

Thanks, have implemented with first_child extraction

entry.first_child().unwrap().add_css_class("success")

This is not how you do things. There’s no guarantee that the first child is going to be the primary icon.

Add a class to the entry, then define the CSS selector for that:

entry.success image.left {
  ...
}

Sure, I understand the risk of using child extractor, just trying to apply the class without external CSS rule connecting (as not using custom style provider yet)
