Vscode Icons

This project is a Visual Studio Code icon pack consisting of a library of SVG graphics and detection systems designed to modify the appearance of the file explorer. It provides a comprehensive set of visual identifiers for files and folders to improve project navigation and structure visualization.

The extension includes a project framework detector that scans workspace directory structures to automatically apply technology-specific icons. Users can further personalize their environment through manual icon associations, custom icon integration from external directories, and the ability to switch between different icon presets.

The system handles file and folder type visualization by mapping extensions and names to specific assets, including theme-aware resolution for light and dark interfaces. It also includes capabilities for interface text localization and utilities to reset configurations to their default state.
