I’m writing an align tool. The icon library has icons for align-left, align-right, align-bottom, align-top, vertical center and horizontal center, but no top-left, top-right, etc or horizontal AND vertical center.
I can fudge it with other icons that squints eyes kinda look right, but it’s not optimal. Is there a way to add custom svgs or bitmaps to buttons?
You should inspect the plugins from @Grum999, especially Buli Commander. He found a way to add his own icons to Krita, but it is a very laborious way, and I was unable to fully grasp the process.
Michelist
Add/Edit: As you can see in this screenshot, he created a menu entry for Buli Commander and added an own icon to it.
In this posting you can find a description how to patch the last version of the plugin to make it work again. Alternatively, you can download it already patched from my cloud:
It is also found a few postings below @Grum999’s description and offers another download option if you should have issues with downloads from MEGA:

You can ship images or svg files in your plugin and then consteuct a QIcon object with the file and then apply it to the QPushbutton or whatever that has an icon slot.
When you use kritas default icons your just constructing a default QIcon.
Personaly i like to make svgs and then port out the svg code and then isolate the color section to be a variable so i can contruct the icon in any color so it reacts to themes easily. Krita has two versions of the same icons which is an unfortunate way to update or manage things in scale. So a theme change implies conateuction of everything from scratch instead or reusing stuff.
Tiny+ plugin that show all resources that can be used with QIcon() / Krita.icon().
Also plugin works as example on how to add extra resources/icons to Krita.
Plugin adds 3 icons with prefix MIVP: to resources to prevents name clashes.
