Both image and label in menu
The menu or any label takes in an argument called compound
file_menu.add_command(label="Create new project", image=icons["new"],compound = LEFT, command=new_project)
here LEFT
is from tkinter
package and is for alignment. It is used to indicate as to which side the image has to be placed.
NOTE: If you have used import tkinter
then you will have to write compound = tkinter.LEFT
