Exposing a method to change the Node icon

[paddy-exe]

There's doesn't seem to be an exposed method or another possibility to change the icon of a node written with GDExtension.

We actually need a way to specify icons in general, for resources, nodes, any object classes. So they would show in docs, Add Node dialog, Create Resource dialog, scene tree etc.

As a workaround you can call

get_editor_interface().get_base_control().get_theme().set_icon("YourGDExtensionClass", "EditorIcons", your_icon)

in an EditorPlugin and the icon will appear in all places.

Good to know! I will try that, thanks👍🏻

@alessandrofama Unfortunately, this work-around does not seem to scale the icons. They are tiny on my 4K screen where I have the system and Godot running with 200% scaling.

@aaronfranke Do you know how much would be needed to have this exposed to GDExtension? I suppose it's too late to have it for 4.0 right?

@aaronfranke it does scale on my 4K but only after reloading the addon (disabling and re-enabling it in the settings) However, when I restart Godot the icon is scuffed again...
