## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, theme, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, web-development
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform, windows
- tags: vscode-extension, icon-theme, file-icons, visual-studio-code, linux, macos
