Clowk Icons

A cosmic file & folder icon theme for Visual Studio Code & Cursor.

VS Marketplace Open VSX

✨ Features

  • Colored rounded folders with badges — soft corners, depth and a subtle shadow, in closed and open states, tuned per folder type.
  • Huge language coverage — Rust, Go, Python, Java, C/C++, Kotlin, Swift, PHP, Elixir, Ruby, TypeScript/JavaScript, Vue, Svelte, Docker, Terraform, GraphQL, Prisma and dozens more, all crisp on dark backgrounds.
  • Hand-tuned icons — a faceted Ruby gem, calm dimmed JS, bold JSON braces, YAML, Markdown, Claude, LICENSE, Makefile and more, sized to sit consistently next to each other.
  • Built for dark themes — every icon is legible against a cosmic background, and pairs perfectly with Clowk, the matching color theme.

🛠 Customize your folders

Clowk can match your project's folders — no need to fork the theme. Add these to your workspace or user settings.json:

{
  // Map a folder name → an icon. Value can be:
  //  • a glyph name            → "deploy": "anchor"
  //  • a glyph + color object  → "fsw": { "glyph": "phone", "color": "blue" }
  //  • a built-in folder name  → "sbc": "kamailio"
  "clowk.folders.associations": {
    "fsw": { "glyph": "phone", "color": "blue" },
    "billing": { "glyph": "database", "color": "purple" },
    "deploy": "anchor",
    "sbc": "kamailio"
  },

  // Recolor every plain (unmatched) folder. Preset or #rrggbb.
  "clowk.folders.color": "teal"
}

Glyphs: gear database mail code eye book log globe terminal box flask clock hexagon grid puzzle sliders briefcase chart image form layout git anchor wand lock phone.

Colors: grey blue green teal red orange yellow purple, or any #rrggbb hex.

Changes apply after a window reload (Clowk prompts you). Everything is layered on top of a pristine base, so removing a setting restores the original folder — your overrides can never break the theme. Run Clowk Icons: Regenerate Icons from the Command Palette if you ever want to rebuild manually.
