Option to use Icon Font in Icon Picker
Option to use Icon Font in Icon Picker
So ages ago I tweaked the default user menu as shown in the screenshot below. I also wanted a shortcut to the script editor so i copy and pasted the settings shortcut and changed it to launch the script editor.Now here’s the problem I can change the new shortcuts label and action easily enough but changing the icon to match the other icons is a bit tricky because I need to download a matching icon pack. It would be nice if we could set icons with an icon font preferably the same one that lightning uses.

Im not sure what you mean I can hide the icon and just use a custom font that’s an icon font for the label but I want the label and the icon to be shown. In the default layout there’s a start here shortcut that opens a folder with tutorials and stuff I’d like to be able to do things like that but without having to install a icon pack.

Yes, a mean, this will be fine.
Good place is in select box, where are from file, from icon pack, from app and from used in LL. Here can be from icon font, after select this choice, show directly icon font symbols as icon. Pierre Hébert

This is a good idea but I fear that adding this feature will bring me a bit too far : in order to implement the thing in a useful way the user should be able to select the font, select the background and foreground colors, and probably select the icon size. That’s not a difficult task, as all components are already there (fonts management, color picker, etc) but it would use a time that I don’t have at the moment.
What I can suggest right now is this script using a new API:
getEvent().getItem().setCustomIcon(Image.createTextIcon(“q”,96,0xff000000,0,null));
Check “Item menu” then apply it on shortcuts. Of course this is only a workaround for a missing feature but it may save your time anyway.
