Explanation

The Icon Theme Application lets code ask for a name of the XWiki Icon Set, so an extension never hard-codes an image path and follows the Icon Theme the wiki has selected on its own.

Each way of asking has its own page:

• Display an Icon in a Script renders an icon from Velocity, and Icon Script Service lists everything $services.icon offers.
• Icon JavaScript API loads icons into browser code, over the Icon REST API that also answers requests of its own.
• Add an Icon Picker lets the user of a form choose an icon, and Icon Picker documents the macro and the jQuery plugin that place it.
• Create an Icon Theme adds a mapping of your own to a wiki, and Icon Theme Properties documents every setting its page carries.
