✨ allegro_icon ✨

okay bestie, gather round — this is a page from the Allegro manual, and honestly it's one of the chillest ones in the whole set. No drama, no 40-option wall of text. Just one little pointer living its best life. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

allegro_icon — a pointer to the Allegro X11 icon. that's it. that's the whole job. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern void *allegro_icon;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, allegro_icon is a pointer to the Allegro X11 icon, and the icon is chillin' in the format of standard .xpm bitmap data. periodt. ✨

And here's the thing, bestie — you do not normally have to bother with this at all. fr fr. lowkey it's just sitting there existing and you can fully ignore it if you want. 💀

But if you do wanna set your own icon? Okay so there's this iconic little utility called xfixicon.sh over in the tools/x11 directory. The way that it works is: you feed it a true colour bitmap, it hands you back a C file, and then all you gotta do is link that file with your own code and boom — icon set. 🫶

no cap, that's literally the entire workflow. convert, link, slay. 💖

and that's the vibe check, bestie — short page, big main character energy. go forth and set your icon. 🌈💜

mwah 💋 this was the allegro_icon(3) page from Allegro, version 4.4.3 — catch you on the next one, bestie! 🎀✨
