 Hi,

 We now use this great font Dashicons to style our custom post type UI
 instead of loading a lot of images.

 What I can't solve is this :

 I've created my custom post types, they have their dashicons. But I want
 to display them on the right now widget (at glance) so I use the filter
 `dashboard_glance_items`.

 In my function I use a simple `get_post_types()` to retrieve all my new
 CPTs. Ok that's cool but I've assigned icons to them so I set the
 `menu_icon` argument of `get_post_types()`to true to get it.

 And If I want to display it, I do something like this :

 {{{
 $menu_icon = $post_type->menu_icon;
 }}}

 But after that I can't make it work simply because there's default style.

 Of course this can be easily fixed with a CSS in admin where I could
 override the default styles.

 Just wonder if that could be relevant to change the markup just a little
 bit to make it work like it works for custom post type UI in menus.


 Hope I'm clear.
 Regards.
