GNOME Decides to Ditch Drawings (Linux Journal)
Posted Aug 4, 2009 22:19 UTC (Tue) by Sho (subscriber, #8956) [Link]
Kidding aside, here's how it actually works in KDE:
- There's an option to enable/disable icons on buttons. It defaults to on, and applies regardless of the used style engine.
- Icons in menus are non-optional settings-wise, but I believe the style engine has the power to provide such an option / ignore menu icons.
(A style engine is a body of code implementing the rendering of interface elements, such as menus, buttons, frames, scrollbars, etc.)
