Where do I find these icons? (Like the ones that are in red circle) I want to use them in my app but I couldn’t find any reference to these icons on the gnome website. Also, these icons are used in many gnome apps, where do I get the complete set of these icons? Also, what is their name?
That’s adwaita-icon-theme, you use them by name, e.g. open-menu-symbolic. That said, going forward it’s encouraged to bundle your icons instead of using the system ones unless for super common ones like primary menu.
See https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.design.IconLibrary to get the list of both system icons and ones for bundling.

If you cannot install this (great) application, Gtk still comes with the “gtk3-icon-browser” utility that does the same.

Not really same, as it’s for system icons only.

You’re right of course. But for getting the name of the four circled icons, it should be good enough.

Kinda. At least one of them (preferences-display-symbolic) is meant for preferences only, and using it out of context will bring you problems later, like if it’s at some point changed to e.g. screen + a ruler like the equivalent full-color icon was previously, etc, so you’d need to find it in /usr and copy, while Icon Library will offer to do that right away
