 * Getting these warnings in `debug.log` when using plugin settings:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [09-Jan-2024 15:38:56 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  Function screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in ../wp-includes/functions.php on line 6031
       [09-Jan-2024 15:38:56 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  Function get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in ../wp-includes/functions.php on line 6031
       ```
   
 * Reason is use of `screen_icon()` in `function create_admin_page()` in `dashboard-
   notes.php` line 265.
 * Dashboard Notes 1.0.3, WordPress 6.4.2, PHP 8.1.x
