Cannot read property 'add' of null (Failed to activate the file-icons package)

See original GitHub issue

It started happening after the latest update of this package when I pressed Ctrl+T to open fuzzy finder. Uninstalled the package and reinstalled and it tried to implement it’s logos on my file tree and it failed with this error.

Atom Version: 1.13.0 Electron Version: 1.3.13 System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Thrown From: file-icons package, v2.0.10
