Do you mean the AppIcon.SearchIcons() routine ?  because it works a lot
better than Desktop.GetIcon() that fails to find half the icons..  It's
slower but much more successful at getting icons from things like gambas
that do not use a path for the Icon=gambas3 setting.
I don't think I set a theme? it can take a PreferedTheme arg but i did not
use it. will have a look as the class is copied from another project. i
thought it's set to use whatever the default is..

A BUG???  surely not?!
Do i need to use the DBusVariable class or something to make a Float/Double
or should using a gambas Float work as expected?  I'm sure the docs say
something about gambas only uses v type and if you need another type you
have to do something different. (inheriting DBusValues.class or something,
i just don't know how)
