Gtk2::IconSource(3)

💖 Gtk2::IconSource 💖

okay bestie, so this is Gtk2::IconSource — the little wrapper around GtkIconSource, no cap. It's giving "I hold all the info about where an icon comes from and what it looks like." ✨

---

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

it's a boxed type, so here's the family tree:

Glib::Boxed
+----Gtk2::IconSource

so like, it inherits from Glib::Boxed and that's the whole bloodline. periodt. 💅
