VS Code reloading to change icons
See original GitHub issue- I’m sure this issue is not a duplicate?
I’m assuming the current icon manifest approach of handling presets forces VS Code to be reloaded in order to update the icons.
Could this be avoided if instead the different presets were abstracted into their own extensions, and vscode-icons
refactored so that it’s only in charge of handling project detection and theme switching?
I’m asking this because I can very easily go to settings.json, change workbench.iconTheme
and immediately see the icons updated, without having to restart VS Code.
So, this extension would only have to set:
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons"
, or "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons-angular"
, etc. accordingly.

@MonsieurMan It’s time to invest in an SSD. Development on HDD is a PITA.
From some testing I’ve done, unfortunately,
vscode
loads the manifest file before it invokesactivate
. So any manipulation before callingactivate
is not possible. This means that in case the user has set custom iconsvscode
will have to restart anyways (even if we use two manifest files).
