- * gtk_icon_theme_add_resource_path:
- * @icon_theme: a #GtkIconTheme
- * @path: a resource path
- *
- * Adds a resource path that will be looked at when looking
- * for icon theme contents, similar to search paths. The resources
- * should be located in a subdirectory starting with the theme name,
- * like this:
- * `@path/hicolor/16x16/actions/run.png`.
- *
- * This function should be used to make application-specific icons
- * available as part of the icon theme.

- * Since: 3.14
