Hi

Icons are explicitly disabled for windows users…

If you want to show them:

```auto
if sys.platform=='win32':
    QApplication.setAttribute(Qt.AA_DontShowIconsInMenus, False)

```

But it will be available for ALL Krita’s Windows.  
So should provide an option to let user decide if they want or not icons in menus ([that’s what I did for Buli Commander](https://github.com/Grum999/BuliCommander/blob/master/releases-notes/RELEASE-0.8.0b.md#windows-users-menu-icons))
