Hi Sam,

I had the same problem - I don't think the docs are very clear on how
to use the theme icons with toolbar buttons.

After some experimentation, I got the following to work:

    tools: ToolbarItems {
        ToolbarButton {
            action: Action {
                text: 'Refresh'
                iconSource: Qt.resolvedUrl('image://theme/reload')
                onTriggered: {}
            }
        }
    }

I can replace 'reload' with any of the standard ubuntu mobile icons
(located at: /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mobile ) - just remember to leave
off the the file extension.

Also be aware that it won't work on your desktop machine, as the
ubuntu mobile theme isn't in use - the icons only displayed on the
device itself when I was testing.
