If it’s possible for a Python module to alter the file icons based on Git status, then this is the best update to Sublime Text in a long time!
How to remove sidebar icons - build 3065

On Mac OS, using Theme - Soda.sublime-package, i could remove the icons this way:
-
unzip ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Theme - Soda.sublime-package
into
~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages -
open the extracted folder and find the .sublime-theme
file you use -
Set the icons margins to [0,0] as billdami said (see code below)
-
Use the Package Control built-in Create Binary Package File
command to recreate the .sublime-package file and replace it to the old one (the folder has to be in “Installed Package” directory)
Thumbs down for the icons!
{
"class": "icon_file_type",
"content_margin": [0,0]
},
{
"class": "icon_folder",
"content_margin": [0,0]
},
{
"class": "icon_folder_loading",
"content_margin": [0,0]
}

Hmm. I use the Eiffel theme but I can’t find any file like this, in JSON format, for Eiffel. I have a “Eiffel (SL).tmTheme” file, it’s XML and there’s no mention of icon’s in it.

Eiffel is just the syntax highlight color scheme, you need to edit the theme (.sublime-theme) instead,
depending on which theme are you using, you need to find the package you are using and follow gpbl’s steps in the post above.
hope it helps

Very good! Unzipped the *sublime-package, found the *theme files, made the changes, renamed the original *sublime-package file to *orig, and now I have an Installed Packages/Theme - Soda dir with the edited files. Quit and restarted, the icons are still there. Do I have to zip up the Theme - Soda dir to make a *sublime-package file? Or could the old content be cached?
Thanks again.

Made the *sublime-package file, so now I have an Installed Packages/Theme - Soda.sublime-package file with the changes in it, but still have icons. Odd. Thank you for your reply, at any rate.

I wish he’d use standard OS folder icons and hire iconfactory.com/ to do the file type icons. Though those hideous Windows icons might be a reason he has taken so long to even humor this feature, then again Yosemite folder icons, no comments. I get it, some people prefer no folders or file type icons, so that should be an option in your user pref file (A very valid option, I bet it’s 50/50, though if I was Jon I wouldn’t count forum complainers as that’s a fraction of ST2/3 user base).
Just do this:
folder_icons: true/false (reverts to just arrows)
file_type_icons: true/false (reverts back to just text)
Everyone wins!

Resurrecting this old thread to ask - is it save to upgrade yet? Is there an option to use the original look?

I’d just like to add my voice to this plea; as a long-time ST2 user, I’ve just upgraded, and the sidebar icons have been the only real downside so far.
(Their Mac OS 9 look is somewhat nostalgic… but the loss of screen real estate bugs me more than the aesthetic pain!)
