🌸 NAME 🌸

fileicon — platform-native icon image for a file type/extension. literally what it says on the tin, no cap. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tk fileicon file size

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The tk fileicon command creates a platform-specific file icon. its whole intent is to provide a visual representation of a file type that users on that platform expect to see. iconic behavior, honestly. 🦋

It takes two arguments:

• an absolute file path
• an icon size

The size can be any size — but on Windows those map to the closest of 16, 32, 48 or 256 pixels because of API constraints. so yeah, Windows is gonna Windows. 💀

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

here's an example of the tk fileicon code, slay:

set img [tk fileicon [file normalize text.txt] 32]
pack [label .l -text "text.txt" -image $img -compound top]

---

🦋 PLATFORM NOTES 🦋

On Windows and macOS, system API's are used. on X11, icons from the Tango project — the default icon theme for the Gnome desktop — are used. different platforms, same icon main character energy. 🌈
