## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that applies Material Design icons to files and folders in the editor's file explorer. It offers customizable colors, opacity, saturation, folder themes, and custom icon associations.

- make it easier to identify file types at a glance in VS Code
- apply a specific folder icon theme in VS Code
- associate custom icons with specific file extensions

## When to choose
- you use VS Code and want a polished, actively maintained icon theme
- you want fine-grained customization of icon appearance
- you want the most popular icon theme with broad file-type coverage

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than VS Code or VSCodium-based forks
- you prefer minimal or no icons in your file explorer
