Helium Icon Theme

Based off of the original Material Icon Theme extension, the "Helium Icon Theme" extension provides lots of icons based on Material Design for Visual Studio Code including Mezzanine's own DSL - Helium!

File icons

Folder icons

Customize folder color

You can change the color of the default folder icon using the command palette:

or via user settings:

"helium-icon-theme.folders.color": "#ef5350",

Folder themes

You can change the design of the folder icons using the command palette:

or via user settings:

"helium-icon-theme.folders.theme": "specific"

Custom icon opacity

You can set a custom opacity for the icons:

"helium-icon-theme.opacity": 0.5

Custom icon saturation

If colors do not make you happy you can change the icons to have less saturation making them look grayish or completely grayscale by setting saturation to 0:

"helium-icon-theme.saturation": 0.5

Custom icon associations

You can customize the icon associations directly in the user settings.

File associations

With the *.[extension] pattern you can define custom file icon associations. For example you could define an icon for *.sample and every file that ends with .sample will have the defined icon. Use **.[extension] with two asterisks to apply the file association also for the filenames ending with that file extension.

If there's no leading * it will be automatically configured as filename and not as file extension.

"helium-icon-theme.files.associations": {
    "*.ts": "typescript",
    "fileName.ts": "angular"
}

Folder associations

The following configuration can customize the folder icons. It is also possible to overwrite existing associations and create nice combinations. For example you could change the folder theme to "classic" and define icons only for the folder names you like.

"helium-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
    "customFolderName": "src",
    "sample": "dist"
}

Language associations

With the following configuration you can customize the language icons. It is also possible to overwrite existing associations.

"helium-icon-theme.languages.associations": {
    "languageId": "iconName",
    "json": "json"
}

Available language ids:
