Air File Icons

A clean, minimal file icon theme for Visual Studio Code and Cursor, inspired by the JetBrains New UI (Air) icon set.

Pairs with Air — companion color theme (dark + light) ported from JetBrains Air. Designed to look right next to these icons.

Features

• 112 file type icons, dark + light variants
• Wide language, framework, and config file coverage
• Crisp monochrome-accent style, tuned for compact tree UIs
