I have Debian 13, it was in the gtk-4-examples package before, but now it’s absent.
GPT suggests that it moved to GNOME Builder, but I installed it and can’t find any icon browser there either.
Could only find some Icon Library app, but I can’t install it from Flathub ‘cause there’s no armhf build, and couldn’t build it myself either as it needs brand new dependencies.
It seems like Gtk4 can load more icons than there are in /usr/share/icons/Adwaita, where do they stay though?
Well, that’s an LLM for you. Sometimes it suggests things that are only true in an alternate universe…
GTK’s icon browser was removed, because it was “basically unmaintained, and not great showcases for GTK”, as per this commit’s description.
Icon library seems to be the de-facto successor in theory.
In general use, GTK can load the icons from the icon theme (which on GNOME is Adwaita) and icons provided in the GResources. So, any additional icons are added to the resources of an application, which are then bundled and provided with it.
If you’re curious about the icons provided by Icon Library, it seems they are found here. If the question is about a icon in a specific app, it can probably found in its data folder in its sources.
The tools wasn’t very inspired or useful, so we dropped it.
The icon library tool is available if you want to see icons.
