<p><b>Why. </b>
Named icons automatically adapt to theme changes, giving your
application a much more integrated appearance.
</p>
<p>
Since GTK+ 2.6, named icons can be used for window icons (see
<a class="link" href="GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-icon-name" title="gtk_window_set_icon_name ()"><code class="function">gtk_window_set_icon_name()</code></a>) and images (see <code class="function">gtk_image_set_icon_name()</code>).
In GTK+ 2.8, you can also use named icons for drag-and-drop (see
<a class="link" href="gtk2-Drag-and-Drop.html#gtk-drag-source-set-icon-name" title="gtk_drag_source_set_icon_name ()"><code class="function">gtk_drag_source_set_icon_name()</code></a>) and in treeview cells (see the
<a class="link" href="GtkCellRendererPixbuf.html#GtkCellRendererPixbuf--icon-name" title="The “icon-name” property"><span class="type">“icon-name”</span></a> property).
