Icon Naming Specification

This is based on the freedesktop.org Icon Naming Specification and aims to document all the icon names provided by elementary icons and their purpose.

Fallback Naming

The dash “-” character is used to separate levels of specificity in icon names, for all contexts other than MimeTypes. For instance, we use “input-mouse” as the generic item for all mouse devices, and we use “input-mouse-usb” for a USB mouse device.
