226 be used to change the icons that appear on the application's toolbar.
227 If you have installed a <application>GTK 4</application> theme (e.g.
228 the Adwaita theme built in <application>GTK 4</application>),
229 an icon theme (such as <xref linkend="oxygen-icons5"/>) and/or a font
230 (<xref linkend="dejavu-fonts"/>), you can set your preferences in
