Is it possible to add an image icon before the selected options? Like this:

Or highlight the options with different colours?
Thanks for any help.

Extremely late reply (even by my standards), but no this is not possible. The main reason is because this element uses a the native HTML <select> and <option> tags underneath for simplicity and the <option> tag does not really allow complex children. This is related to #38.

It is possible that the component could be retooled to use a more complex combination of tags that mimic the native <select> appearance and thus allow for icons to appear before the text, but that is something I am not actively pursuing (though I would accept a PR that includes such changes).

I am going to close this but leave #38 open for the possibility that more customization on the options will be allowed in the future.
