XDGKit

XDGKit is a C++ library providing utilities for working with XDG standards.

Features

• Icon Themes: Tools for searching icons, adhering to the XDG Icon Theme Specification v0.13.

This library does not load icons into memory. Instead, it provides fast lookups for icon metadata, including paths, extensions, sizes, and other relevant details.

Example

#include <XDGKit/XDGKit.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace XDG;

int main()
{
    XDGKit::Options options;
    
    // Load themes from cache when possible
    options.useIconThemesCache = true;
    
    // Automatically reload themes if a cache update is detected
    options.autoReloadCache = true;
    
    // Create an instance of XDGKit.
    auto kit = XDGKit::Make(options);

    // Search for an icon
    const XDGIcon *firefox =

            512,                                        // Desired icon size (unscaled)
