Hello,
After installing a new distribution of GNU/Linux, I found that various applications were using a different icon set for their MenuStrips and ToolBars. My old distribution used the GTK+ icon set (Debian), my new distribution uses the Mint-X icon set (Linux Mint).
My question is: how does the application determine which Desktop Environment/distro is being used? Are there any easier ways of implementing the same thing without doing it from scratch, programmatically?
For my application, I am using Object Pascal (Lazarus); are there any libraries I can refer to to make this less of a headache?
Thanks you for your help and Happy New Year!
PS: Is it unprofessional to just use GTK+ icon sets across operating systems?

Searching the web for more information, however none of my searches throw-up very useful information.
