Thank you for a very good plugin.

I wondered if it was possible to add your own icons to activated applications in Admin drop menus. After examining and changing the admin drop menu code (adminmenus.php) I succeded.

This is how I changed it:

In function aws_adminmenu_build () replace:

     $mtype = "<img src=’" . $ipath . "plugin.png’ height=’16′ width=’16′ alt=”/>&nbsp;";
with:

     $icon_dir = str_replace(".php","","{$item[2]}") ;
     $icon_path = ABSPATH . "wp-content/plugins/{$icon_dir}.png" ;
     if (file_exists($icon_path)) {
      $icon = trailingslashit(get_option(’siteurl’)) . "wp-content/plugins/{$icon_dir}.png" ;
      $mtype = "<img src=’" . $icon . "’ height=’16′ width=’16′ alt=”/>&nbsp;";
     }
     else {
      $mtype = "<img src=’" . $ipath . "plugin.png’ height=’16′ width=’16′ alt=”/>&nbsp;";
     }

You can now add icons (16×16) into the directory of the plugin. The name of the icon must be the same as the php-file which is called from the admin-panel but the ".php" replaced with ".png".

Examples:

Aksimet -> akismet-admin.png

phpMyAdmin -> wp-phpmyadmin.png (in folder wp-phpmyadmin)

wp-SimpleViewer -> wp-simpleviewer.png (in folder simpleviewer)

Event CAlendar -> ec3_admin.png

Role-Manager -> role-manager.png (in folder role-manager)

(My own) Codeviewer -> codeviewer-options.png (in folder codeviewer)

Go ahead, use it.

I have implemented icons for (my own) Codeviewer, Event Calendar and Role-manager so far.
