[Gambas-user] Gio icon, GIcon serialized for DesktopPortal Notify?

[Bruce Steers]

Brilliant, Thank you Vuott  hopefully i can get that working for images

I have just discovered i can just use a stock icon name

my problem was i was trying using the icon name "question"  and did not
know the stock name for a question mark was "dialog-question" lol
but if i can get the code you have posted working i can branch out into
custom icons :)

Respects
BruceS
