### Remarks

[EditorGUIUtility.IconContent](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/editorguiutility/iconcontent.md) is used to create a [GUIContent](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/guicontent.md) 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.
