An extension providing several file icon theme options to Visual Studio Code, emphasising freedom from icon variation clutter.

• Only folder items in the explorer view are assigned icons.
• All icons have variants that cater to light mode themes.
• All icon theme variations force the hidesExplorerArrows setting.
  • These default built-in elements are considered superfluous because the icons themselves can represent folder expansion state.
• Icons are intentionally left-aligned so that folder entries share a common horizontal alignment edge with iconless file items.

• Consideration: do some extension plumbing to only expose a single icon theme and allow for the icon set variation to be configured via a separate setting.
• Consideration: provide a setting that opts into using an empty icon placeholder for file items. This would horizontally align the text of the latter with folder items, which might appear clearer for some.
