Guide
Set the icon path
When the extension is the first time activated, you get a pop-up to set the icon of VS Code.
After that, you can enter the path of a .ico-file you wish to set as the icon of VS Code.
You can also use the Set Icon Path command.
When you pressed Enter the extension will check the path and set the icon.
If the progress was successful, you can restart VS Code to see the new icon in the taskbar
Set the shortcut path
The extention automaticly sets this path to the default path where VS Code has created the shortcut.
Use this if you have renamed or moved your start menu shortcut of VS Code.
You can try the Find Shortcut command if you have VS Code system-wide installed.
Run the Set Shortcut Path command.
Enter the path of the shortcut for Visual Studio Code.
To find the Shortcut, open the Windows start menu. Search "Visual Studio Code" in the Search bar. Right-click on the item for VS Code and click on "Open file location". Copy the file location of the selected Shortcut item and paste it in the input box of the extension.
If the icon is reverted
Use the Set Icon command to set the icon again.
