What needs to be fixed

The left column menus suggestion.
Admin template for Joomla 4 alpha 11 menu links - move dashboard link to drop down and remove the icon next to the arrow.

Why this should be fixed

Would make the left column menu navigation cleaner and less distracting with the icon for the dashboard page.

How would you fix it

Remove the icon for the item's dashboard and move that as a link into the dropdown.

Side Effects expected

None

I tweeted about this: HERE

UPDATE: I added the screenshot examples here:

Whats your opinion on #25865?

Not sure if you wanted me to reply here or on that ticket, but I took a look...interesting idea, but as Brian mentioned, there will be people who won't know what the standalone + symbol is for. Good idea for the side placement of just the icon, but I think it's better where it is on the bottom. I would also go as far as adding the word "Add" to the add link boxes. Example: Add Article, Add Category (not Add Article Category), etc. I can show a screenshot if you wish?

Better to discuss one issue in one thread, so if you please comment your thoughts and show screenshots at #25865 and close this issue.

Not a fan of the dashboard icon change myself as it negates the reason for having it and I prefer the side approach in #25865 for the icons

My 2c

Shouldn't have closed this whole thread because there is still the item I brought up about the left column menus suggestion. That is not related to the other thread.

reopened. Can you please change the opening comment to " the left column menus suggestion" so we have one issue in one thread?

for accessibility we need to have 2 buttons 1 for submenu and 1 for subdasboard
