Magento 2 : How I can change the default font Icon in menu admin for custom module?

1. Create Icon

By default magento 2 add custom default icon for you module.

But you can add your custom icon to your custom admin module menu.

Create custom icon .svg with inkscape software (open source soft for

creating vector try man !).

Create font icon of that .svg icon with help of IcoMoon.io

Go to lib/web/fonts

create your module folder. example Package and paste all files which obtained/exported from IcoMoon.io.

  1. injected it inside Magento 2 without touching the core files: Supposed your module name is Package_Modulename

go to app/design/adminhtml/Magento/backend

create folder with name Package_Modulename/web/css/source/

Create _module.less file under source folder

It will seem like Package_Modulename/web/css/source/_module.less

Now inside your file _module.less add this lines :

@modulename-icons-admin__font-name-path: '@{baseDir}fonts/modulename/icomoon';
@modulename-icons-admin__font-name : 'modulename';
.font-face(
@family-name:@modulename-icons-admin__font-name,
@font-path: @modulename-icons-admin__font-name-path,
@font-weight: normal,
@font-style: normal
);
.admin__menu .item-modulename.parent.level-0 > a:before {
  font-family: @modulename-icons-admin__font-name;
  content: "\e800";
}

item-modulename : here modulename is comes from etc/adminhtml/menu.xml

<menu>
        <add id="Package_Modulename::modulename" title="Modulename" module="Package_Modulename" sortOrder="40" resource="Package_Modulename::modulename"/> 
</menu>

see the id Magento take the last word after ':: ' here is modulename and add the name to li html parent of a tag the class result is class='item-modulename parent level-0'

I tried above solution but it not worked for me. so i tried to put _module.less file in

vendor/magento/theme-adminhtml-backend/Your_Module/web/css/source

Direcrtory. and it works for me.

This is not recommended but i didn't find any other solution for this. so i try this solution. and it works. check the following file for make sure it work:

 pub/static/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/css/styles.less

Where you should find a line like this:

@import '../Your_Module/css/source/_module.less';

Above mentioned answer are worked the different folders like lib, design.

So we have only worked the custom extension files. The step are:

1) you have create the menu.xml file for Package_Modulename/etc/adminhtml. Code are 

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Backend:etc/menu.xsd">
    <menu>
        <add id="Package_Modulename::package_menu" title="package name" module="Package_Modulename" sortOrder="70" resource="Package_Modulename::package_menu"/>
        <add id="Package_Modulename::menu_config" title="Configuration" translate="title" module="Package_Modulename" sortOrder="1" parent="Package_Modulename::package_menu" resource="Package_Modulename::menu_config"/>
    </menu>
</config>

2) Create font icon of that .svg icon with help of IcoMoon.io. More details Documents

3) Create the default.xml file for Package_Modulename/view/adminhtml/layout. Coding are:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>
        <css src="Package_Modulename::css/icon.css"/>
    </head>
</page>

4) Create the fonts folder in Package_Modulename/view/adminhtml/web and paste the icon files. Files are

icon.eot

icon.svg

icon.ttf

icon.woff

5) Create the icon.css file for Package_Modulename/view/adminhtml/web/css. Code are

@font-face {
    font-family:'Packagename';
    src:url('../fonts/icon.eot');
    src:url('../fonts/icon.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),url('../fonts/icon.woff') format('woff'),url('../fonts/icon.ttf') format('truetype'),url('../fonts/icon.svg') format('svg');font-weight:normal;font-style:normal
}

.admin__menu .level-0.item-package_menu > a::before {
    content: '\e900';
    font-size: 3.0rem;
    padding-top: 0.1rem;
    font-family:'Packagename';
}

Note: Above coding content: '\e900'; check the value. Please check font package file (demo.html). Refer the screen shot:
