How can I add an icon for my third-party Odoo app

I have developed an app that I want to publish in the Odoo App Store. The issue I am now facing is how to add an Icon for it that will be seen in the Apps tab once the app is installed.

Solution

  • You should have that icon file anywhere in the static directory of your app/module. Why static? Because it is easier to configure web caching (with apache or nginx) if every app/module has static files at the "same" directory.

    You also have to tell your menu which icon file to use, like in the Accounting App.

    <menuitem name="Invoicing"
        id="menu_finance"
        groups="account.group_account_readonly,account.group_account_invoice"
        web_icon="account,static/description/icon.png"
        sequence="55" />
