Replace the default Odoo application icons with a curated library of 114+ custom SVG icons organized by category. Designed for Odoo 19, this module provides a complete icon management system: a visual kanban library grouped by tags, a wizard to assign icons to any top-level menu, and automatic icon application on module install.
Icons are stored as binary SVG files to ensure perfect rendering at any resolution without lossy format conversion. The wizard auto-suggests relevant category tags based on the selected menu name, making icon assignment fast and intuitive.
All management menus are restricted to developer mode and the Administrators group, keeping the interface clean for regular users.
- 114+ SVG Icons â Curated library covering 32 categories: Account, CRM, HR, Sales, Stock, Hotel, Restaurant, POS, and more.
- Kanban Library View â Browse all icons grouped by category with live SVG previews, searchable and filterable by tag.
- Icon Assignment Wizard â Select any top-level menu, filter icons by category tag, preview the icon at full size, and apply with one click.
- Auto-Tag Suggestions â The wizard auto-suggests category tags based on keywords in the selected menu name (Spanish and English supported).
- Default Icon Assignments â Store a default menu XML ID per icon; the post_init_hook applies all defaults automatically when the module installs.
- Server Action for Re-apply â A dedicated server action lets you re-apply all default icon assignments after installing additional apps.
- SVG Binary Storage â Icons stored as Binary fields (not Image), bypassing Pillow to preserve SVG vector quality.
- Developer-Mode Only â All management menus hidden from regular users; visible only in developer mode to Administrators.
- Safe Cross-App References â Default menu XML IDs stored as plain text; missing apps are gracefully skipped without errors.
- Download and install the module from Settings â Apps â Third-party modules.
- The module automatically applies default icon assignments for any installed apps on first install.
- Activate developer mode (Settings â scroll to bottom â Activate Developer Mode) to access the icon management menus.
- Navigate to Settings â Menu Icons to access the icon library, tags, and assignment wizard.
- After installing additional Odoo apps, use Settings â Menu Icons â Apply Default Icons to re-apply icon assignments for newly installed menus.
Browsing the Icon Library:
Go to Settings â Menu Icons â Icon Library. Icons are displayed in a kanban view grouped by category tag. Use the search bar to filter by name or tag. Click Assign to menu on any card to open the wizard with that icon pre-selected.
Assigning an Icon to a Menu:
- Open the wizard from Settings â Menu Icons â Assign Icon to Menu.
- Select the top-level application menu (e.g. Sales, Inventory).
- Category tags are auto-suggested based on the menu name â you can add or remove tags to filter the icon list.
- Select an icon from the dropdown. A live SVG preview appears below.
- Click Apply Icon. The menu icon updates immediately in the sidebar.
Re-applying Default Icons:
After installing new Odoo apps, go to Settings â Menu Icons â Apply Default Icons. This re-runs the default assignment logic, applying icons to any newly installed menus that have a configured default icon record.
