IconTheme.lookupByGicon

Looks up an icon and returns a gtk.IconInfo containing information such as the filename of the icon. The icon can then be rendered into a pixbuf using IconInfo.loadIcon.

When rendering on displays with high pixel densities you should not use a size multiplied by the scaling factor returned by functions like Window.getScaleFactor. Instead, you should use IconTheme.lookupByGiconForScale, as the assets loaded for a given scaling factor may be different.
