Atom: [Proposal] Create a VSCode package

[abdonrd]

It would be great to have this package in VSCode.

[Alhadis]

I've never used VSCode, so, not sure I can be of much help there...

[abdonrd]

Wow! Thanks for the quick response!

What a shame! I'm testing VSCode these days and I miss this package.

[Alhadis]

You'll miss it even more in a few weeks once V2 is released, unless VSCode has hashbang detection, heh.

Paging @ihodev and @nfantone, as they may be interested in this.

@abdonrd My feelings exactly when switching to VSCode. I opened #422 in the past and tried to put together something similar for that editor, but failed miserably at the time. At present, VSCode does not support styling the workbench or CSS/font icons. But it's coming along!

[Alhadis]

Well, the SVG source for the package's custom icon-font is available here. =) Not sure if that'll help you in your endeavours, but everything's there.

[abdonrd]

@nfantone the VSCode 1.5 add support for icons: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/09/08/icon-themes#_file-icon-themes

VSCode docs: Adding a new Icon Theme

[abdonrd]

I will add the VSCode examples:

• With SVG: theme-defaults/fileicons
• With fonts: theme-seti/icons

[gluons]

@abdonrd Have you try vscode-icons?

It do exactly as Atom file-icons (this repo).

[abdonrd]

@gluons those icons are different. 😕

[gluons]

@abdonrd OK. You prefer this icons style. (me too)
Currently I use vscode-icons instead because it is the best in VSCode now.
If file-icons is ported to VSCode, I'll use it too. 😃

Whipped up a quick VSCode extension: https://github.com/file-icons/vscode using the same definitions and icons

[abdonrd]

@DanBrooker thank you very much! 🎉

I see some differences:

Atom vs VSCode:

And the icons are not centered with the same size.

[DanBrooker]

There's a little less control in VSCode with regard to what the icon extension can do, @abdonrd open an issue here https://github.com/file-icons/vscode/issues anyway

[abdonrd]

Closed by https://github.com/file-icons/vscode! :)

[nfantone]

This is great news.
