How to set 'entry_icon'

[domferr]

Hey, great job, findex works like a charm! Your screenshot has a search icon and I was setting my settings.toml to achieve the same.
Unfortunately I don't know to what entry_icon should be set. Even if I set it to a path it doesn't work. Can you explain how to set it properly? Thank you!

Hi there! You have to set icon name from the icon theme you are using.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I also tried with another icon name which I'm sure exists (I am using it on a GNOME extension I made). What can be the problem?

To exclude any problem related to CSS, I also tried with an empty style.css file. This is my settings.toml:

default_window_width = 600
min_content_height = 0
max_content_height = 400
name_match_highlight_color = "white"
decorate_window = false
close_window_on_losing_focus = true
query_placeholder = "Search for applications"
icon_size = 32
toggle_key = "<Shift>space"
min_score = 10
result_size = 10
entry_icon = "system-search-symbolic"

System Information:

findex 0.8.1
Ubuntu 23.04, Wayland
GNOME 44.3

Maybe the problem is that the latest release (0.8.1) doesn't have the entry_icon feature yet?

Ahh, I myself was kinda confused. Yes. Currently you'll have to build from latest commit to get the feature :3 I'll make a release soon when I'm happy with the state.

That's great to hear! Can't wait for the next release :)
