# Method Gnome.IconList()->freeze()

Method freeze

  ``Gnome.IconList` freeze()`

Description

  Freezes an icon list so that any changes made to it will not be reflected on the screen until it is thawed with thaw(). It is recommended to freeze the icon list before inserting or deleting many icons, for example, so that the layout process will only be executed once, when the icon list is finally thawed.

  You can call this function multiple times, but it must be balanced with the same number of calls to thaw() before the changes will take effect.
