Color icons take on color of git status message in file tree
See original GitHub issueWhen the on change
setting is on, the icons assume the color of the git status of the file in the tree view (green for added, orange for modified) instead displaying their original colors.
For example, in the attached screenshot, the icon for code.svg
should be it’s original orange-ish color instead of green and the icon for compassIcon.svg
should be it’s original blue color.

I’m not sure if this is possible to implement, but it would be really nice to see the original colors.

That’s fair. I’m happy to wait until the next major release. Just wanted to raise this issue in case you weren’t aware 😃
Thanks, mate. =) Will keep that in mind.
