Overview

After Spectrum Icons was removed from
GitHub and the Visual Studio Marketplace, I meticulously crafted this icon theme
to be its successor.

The Glyph for vscode file icon theme provides highly customizable options
delivered in a minimalist package. These icons perfectly match the look of
Activity Bar items to make for a more cohesive-feeling experience.

Features

  • Minimalistic design - a simple icon set that stays true to the original
  • Multiple Icon Themes - choose from a variety of icon themes, including
    legacy (the original set), minimal, and default (in color and monochrome
    variants)
  • Expanded Icon Set - building on the icons from Spectrum, this theme
    introduces new icons for a broader range of file types

Installation

  1. Launch Visual Studio Code
  2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl + Shift +
    X or Cmd + Shift + X on macOS)
  3. Search for "Glyph for vscode".
  4. Click on the Install button.
  5. Once installed, click on the gear icon and select "Set File Icon Theme".
  6. Chose any of the glyph.* options from the list.
  7. Enjoy! :)
