Product Icon Theme Samples

Product icons themes allow theme authors to customize the icons used in VS Code's built-in views: all icons except file icons (covered by file icon themes) and icons contributed by extensions.

This sample provides a product icon theme with icons used in VS Code 1.0.

The sample also contains a build script that creates the icon font from svg images.

• run npm run updateFont

To change the icon theme:

• modify theme/v1-product-icon-theme.json to associate font icons to VS Code icon IDs
• test the theme by running the extension (F5)
• changes to the product theme file are applied live in the extension development host window. No need to relaunch the extension.
