Can't use uris for Icon source

[Michał Sawicz]

The Icon component doesn't have a "source" property, it only supports a "name", which means that there's no way to pass a image://theme/ uri (which backends send instead of plain names to uniquely identify the source of the icon).

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

The name property seems to do what you want, it converts "name" into an image://theme/name to take the image from the theme. If you want to set the source, you can use Image directly.

Also, most components have both an iconSource and iconName property, so you can choose which one you need

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

what is the use case here?

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

The use case is to use Icon directly (without any wrapper around it to check for image://theme/ in the uri) and its colourization feature, when the actual path for the icon comes from a remote service (e.g. indicator services).

And especially *because* other components support both iconName and iconSource, it would make sense here as well.
