A Visual Studio Code extension that provides file and folder icons for the editor's file explorer. It supports icon customization, custom icons, and automatic project detection.

Use cases

• add file icons to visual studio code
• customize icons for file extensions in vscode
• show folder icons in the vscode explorer
• auto-detect project type and apply matching icons
• use custom icons in vscode file tree

When to choose

• you use Visual Studio Code and want a richer file explorer with icons
• you need per-extension icon customization or your own custom icons
• you want automatic icon themes for known project types like Angular

When to avoid

• you use an editor other than VS Code
• you prefer a minimal icon-free file explorer
• you need icons for a different IDE's native theme format
