Icon Search Path

The desktop finds an icon file, or image, by searching for the file in a list of directories. This list of directories, called the icon search path, is determined by the value of several environment variables. Which variables are used and how they are put together to create the icon search path are discussed in Icon Search Path.

The default search path is:

• Built-in icons: /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/language

• System-wide icons: /etc/dt/appconfig/icons/language

• Personal icons: HomeDirectory/.dt/icons
