 * Hi, do you plan to add support for [Dashicons](http://melchoyce.github.io/dashicons/)(
   font icons) which since WP v3.8 replaced previous Dashboard menu icons?
 * Great plugin, anyway!

 * Known request that I haven’t found time to get to. It’ll be part of the 0.9 release
   which has no tentative release date sadly.

 * Where does the custom post type info get stored and accessed from? Is there a
   functions.php file within the plugin that I could add in the ‘menu-icon’ => line?

 * We store the chosen settings as an option in the wp_options table and then just
   use that information to loop and register as necessary, so no files like you 
   ask about for it.
 * At best, as is, you’ll have to use the “Get code” link in your CPT list screen
   and copy/paste it into your own functions.php file.

 * Hi. I just noticed this was added, but I can’t find what functionality is actually
   new. Could you post a screenshot?

 * It’s a change I made to the sanitization that occurs with the “menu icon” field,
   so no new fields were added to it. Before we were only accepting URLs in the “
   menu icon” spot, now we’re accepting the classes needed for the dashicons
 * See more at [http://melchoyce.github.io/dashicons/](http://melchoyce.github.io/dashicons/)
   and [http://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/04/16/dashicons-in-wordpress-3-9/](http://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/04/16/dashicons-in-wordpress-3-9/)
 * With the first link, the class to use is the text above the “copy css”, “copy
   html” etc. For instance, the very first one shown is “dashicons-menu” and so 
   on.
 * Hope that clears up your question.
