<div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">Note that the icon name can also be that of a Gtk-builtin icon. Their
names always start with "<span class="app">gtk-</span>" - for example "<span class="app">gtk-cancel</span>". You can
find a list of all available builtins under
<span class="link"><a href="http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/gtk-stock-items.html" title="http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/gtk-stock-items.html">http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/gtk-stock-items.html</a></span>.
They usually match your Gtk theme though.</p></div></div>

<div id="png-icons" class="sect"><div class="inner">
<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">PNG icons</span></h2></div>
<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">In case you enter something like "<span class="app">player</span>", the icon name will be
searched for and expanded to an absolute PNG filename. For example
"<span class="file">totem</span>" might become <span class="file">/usr/share/icons/HighContrast/16x16/apps/totem.png</span>.</p>
<p class="p">This won't always yield the exact icon / theme / or size you wanted. So it's
sometimes necessary to look up the complete path yourself.
So you might want search them manually <span class="cmd">locate /usr/shar/icons |
grep "volume"</span> to pick out a more fitting icon.</p>
<p class="p">You can also use png files located in your homedir or else.</p>

<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">You can define any graphical or commandline application to be
invoked by your custom toolbar button. Foremost you want to invoke
audio controls of course, or start/stop players.</p>
<p class="p">For example <span class="cmd">amixer sset Master 1dB+</span> is likely to work
for all current distributions.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="link"><a href="config_apps.html#placeholders" title="URL placeholders">Placeholders</a></span>
like %title and %url or %pls and %m3u are supported for all commands
as well. So you can have additional play/record shortcuts.</p>

<div id="icon-rows" class="sect"><div class="inner">
<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">icon rows</span></h2></div>
<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">With the "number of rows" setting, more buttons can be packed together.
It looks okay with up to 3 rows - when using the large sized main toolbar.
The defined icon shortcuts will always be packed column-wise.</p>
<div class="note note-bug" title="Bug"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">The icon list isn't ordered. So you cannot
define which button appears first. (Albeit the plugin config
definition can be changed from 'dict' to 'table' now, and the plugin
required just a little editing then.)</p></div></div></div></div>
