    Description

    Fetch the GUIContent from the Unity builtin resources with the given name.

    EditorGUIUtility.IconContent is used to create a GUIContent for a GUI element. Only icons are loaded. Typically the icon from Assets/Editor Default Resources/Icons is fetched using the first argument. Only the name of the icon, without the png extension is needed.

    The second argument provides the text for a hovering tooltip. This string needs to start with a vertical bar "|" character to flag it as a tooltip.

    Note: The hovering over the tooltip cannot currently be positioned.

    Is something described here not working as you expect it to? It might be a Known Issue. Please check with the Issue Tracker at issuetracker.unity3d.com.
