FreeDesktop-Icons

This module gives access to icon libraries on your system. It more or less conforms to the Free Desktop specifications here.

Furthermore it allows you to add your own icon folders through the rawpath method.

We have made provisions to make it work on Windows as well.

The constructor takes a list of folders where it finds the icons libraries. If you specify nothing, it will assign default values for:

Windows: $ENV{ALLUSERSPROFILE} . '\Icons'. It will not create the folder if it does not exist.

Others: $ENV{HOME} . '/.local/share/icons', and the folders 'icons' in $ENV{XDG_DATA_DIRS}.

Installation

* perl Makefile.PL
* make
* make test
* make install

On Windows

If you use the windows operating system please make sure you have an icon library installed. We found a suitable one on softicons.com. Download it from here.

Extract the file and rename the folder png to Oxygen. Create a folder Icons in C:\ProgramData and move the Oxygen folder into it. Downloading it from the Oxygen github repository gives all kinds of problems on Windows.
