screen_icon deprecated

[Robin W]

looks like wordpress 4.9.5 has removed screen_icon and users in

dashboard>settings>forums
and
dashboard>settings>tools>forums

are now seeing

Notice: screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /www/sites/e12/ee6/gos.rewweb.co.uk/web/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3842

Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. in /www/sites/e12/ee6/gos.rewweb.co.uk/web/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3842

2.6 will make this issue go away, but suspect unless imminent that the support forum will get lots of these. Is 2.5.15 a possibility to get rid of this?

Screen icon is used in

admin/settings.php (4 hits)

Line 1247: * @uses screen_icon() To display the screen icon
Line 1256: <?php screen_icon(); ?>
Line 1498: * @uses screen_icon() To display the screen icon
Line 1507: <?php screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?>

/admin/tools.php (4 hits)

Line 24: * @uses screen_icon() To display the screen icon
Line 32: <?php screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?>
Line 1198: * @uses screen_icon() To display the screen icon
Line 1206: <?php screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?>

In 6800:

Admin: Remove deprecated screen_icon() calls.

See #2538. Fixes #3198. (2.5 branch).

Thanks Robin, will look to see what else we have for a 2.5.x release and go from there.
