Adding an icon

Our module is looking good. Why not add an icon to it to make it look even better? For this, we just need to add a static/description/icon.png file to the module, with the icon to be used.

We will be reusing the icon of the existing Notes application, so we should copy the odoo/addons/note/static/description/icon.png file into the custom-addons/todo_app/static/description directory.

The following commands should do that trick for us:

$ cd ~/odoo-dev
$ mkdir -p ./custom-addons/todo_app/static/description
$ cp ./odoo/addons/note/static/description/icon.png ./custom-addons/todo_app/static/description

Now, if we update the module list, our module should be displayed with the new icon.
