auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Updates the icon library used across Odoo to Font Awesome 6.7.2, so icons look modern and consistent in the backend, the website and printed reports.

This module does not add any screen, menu or button. It only changes which icon set Odoo loads, replacing the older Font Awesome files that come with the web module with version 6.7.2.

Because the replacement is applied to three asset bundles, the new icons appear everywhere:

  • in the backend interface (menus, buttons, status widgets),
  • on the website and frontend pages,
  • in printed documents and reports.

A compatibility stylesheet is also loaded, so icons written with the older naming style keep working after the update. No new database tables, fields, business rules, checks, emails or scheduled actions are introduced; the module contains no models at all.

In practice, users only notice that existing icons render with the newer Font Awesome design and that some icons that were missing before are now available. Nothing else in their daily work changes.
