Customization

Customizing the extension

The extension gives you the ability to change how the icons look or even what icons are associated to each extension.

We have exposed the internal API that we are using to build the icon manifest so you can also use it in your vscode settings and generate it at runtime. This will allow you to customize all the icons, add new ones and so on.

Although you now have this power, we're encouraging everyone to raise an issue in the issues section of the GitHub's repo in case you find any of your customizations valuable to the rest of the community so we can implement them out of the box.

But, how does this work?

The extension now provides some specific commands for you to use. Let's talk first about the presets and then we're going to talk about how you can fine tune the extension.
