How the Icon Search Path Is Assembled

The value of the icon search path (XMICONSEARCHPATH and XMICONBMSEARCHPATH) is created by assembling the following locations, listed in order of precedence:

• Locations specified using the DTSPUSERICON variable

• Locations derived from the DTSPUSERAPPHOSTS variable

• The default personal location: HomeDirectory/.dt/icons

• The default location: /etc/dt/appconfig/icons/language

• Locations specified using the DTSPSYSICON variable

• Locations derived from the DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS variable

• /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/language

  The color and monochrome search paths differ only in the precedence given to pixmap and bitmaps. The XMICONSEARCHPATH variables lists pixmaps before bitmaps; XMICONBMSEARCPATH lists bitmaps before pixmaps.
