Adding a new icon

Find an icon in SVG format (Most icons are from here)
Make sure you have node.js installed
- We recommend installing node via nvm
  - Run nvm install v22
  - Run nvm use
Add the svg to the icons theme folder
- Either themes/2023/icons or themes/v1/icons
Update the theme json file
- Update iconDefinitions
- Update fileNames or fileExtensions
To test the new icon, run in terminal npm run prebuild && npm run package. This should create a *.vsix file. In VSCode right click on that file click "Install Extension VSIX".
- Once that is installed, change the icon theme to the theme that has your new icon. e.g mac Command + Shift + P -> Preferences: File Icon Theme -> e.g JetBrains Icon Theme 2023+ UI Dark
- Create an empty file with the file name or file extension to verify your icon shows up.
