File Tree Icons Very Distracting and Useless

#1

The file tree icons are pretty much just a bunch of useless clutter. Seems like most of them show /* because the file starts with that. I would like a way to just turn it off.

You can customize your theme by creating a file named Packages/User/Default.sublime-theme and add rules to hide the icons. Reference: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/themes.html.

I disagree. I find file icons quite helpful to distinguish between different types.

I use A File Icon to have one for each type of file.

But this is a question of taste.

Sorry for sounding so negative. I really love Sublime Text and I’ve paid for it.

Thank you @wbond for pointing that out. I will look into that option.

@deathaxe When most of the icons are just /* it doesn’t really help :smiley:

This is indeed an argument. But we are happy to be able to customize anything. And sometimes we are even happier as someone else did for us. :smiley:

If you guys need more icons instead of /*, we’re willing to contribute our 1em icons.

Examples:
Shell scripts
argh, I can’t more links here. Just search for “file extension” for many ready icons.

We’re also willing to adjust our icons or create the new ones.
