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

✨ 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.
