I use Ubuntu's toolbar theme (context) in my application which is black for Ambiance and grey for Radiance. So I have got two icon packs (a white and a black one), but how can I figure out which theme is used by the user? So I'll can write an if statement for it.

You can type in terminal:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme

Or in Python:

from gi.repository import Gio
theme=Gio.Settings.new('org.gnome.desktop.interface').get_string('gtk-theme')

This is a command or what? Please explain it a little bit. :) – Roberto Jun 26 '12 at 15:45
    
robin@RobinJ:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme outputs 'Ambiance' in my case. If the user uses Radiance it will output that. – RobinJ Jun 26 '12 at 15:56

If you choose a stock icon, it will always use the icon of the theme which was chosen by the user.

Also: Why do the GNOME symbolic icons appear darker in a running application?

Yeah, but I need own icons. – Roberto Jun 26 '12 at 15:45
