Vscode: New icons make it very difficult to distinguish intellisense from autocomplete suggestions

[luisrudge]

Issue Type: Bug

With the new icons, it's pretty hard to distinguish between actual intellisense items and autocomplete suggestions :( They used to have different colors, now it's all the same color, same font etc.

VS Code version: Code 1.37.0 (036a6b1d3ac84e5ca96a17a44e63a87971f8fcc8, 2019-08-08T01:22:37.660Z)

The new icon is ugly.

[tranvannhat]

How to get back to the old icon set?

[WebGhan]

The new icon is ugly.

I agree

[dhonx]

@tranvannhat install the previous release...

[dhonx]

@luisrudge I think that's not a bug..

[alexamy]

It would be very nice to have an option to switch old icons back.

@LuisBosquez as I mentioned on Twitter, property and text icons in intellisense have always been the same color so that has not changed.

Using your React example, here's a comparison of the two:

|Before|After|
|---|---|
|||

And the rest of the IntelliSense icons still use color:

If you do encounter any other specific issue please create a new one and I'll take a look.

@misolori sorry, missed your tweet. The colors haven't changed, but now the distinction between a component pro and a regular autocomplete suggestion is not that great. Although the color wasn't different (my bad), they did have a clear difference: one is 'filled and the other is outlined. You can barely tell the difference between a react component pro and a suggestion

[DeltaRazero]

If only icon themes would allow for intellisense icons too..
