There’s no normal menu item that has an ImageIcon, but I did find a native app where a radio button and an ImageIcon are displayed side by side. The screenshot is from the “View” menu in Windows 11 Explorer.

<img width="169" height="305" alt="example" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5a8983a2-160e-484f-ba8a-5cf242e8fb6e" />

The last “Show” opens a submenu, so it might be treated differently from a normal menu item, but the menu text is left-aligned.

I still think it’s not good if the ImageIcon and text of each menu item end up misaligned.
