Is there a package that simply changes the closed and opened folder icon in the sidebar to ⊞ and ⊟?

#1

By default, closed and opened folders on the sidebar are shown with icon ⏵ and ⏷, but visually they are quite similar if you just take a quick glance at your sidebar. For me, telling which folders are currently open can take my brain 1s. I personally believe it can be reduced to 0.1s if it’s changed to ⊞ and ⊟. Is there a package that does that?

If there isn’t, can I easily do that myself? I have no experience developing packages.
Thanks!

Themes can be customized by users without too much work. https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/themes.html#customization discusses how to customize a theme, in this case Default.sublime-theme.

That said, if you’ve never worked on a theme before, you’ll probably want to read through the first few sections of https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/themes.html to get familiar with how the theme engine works. Then you’ll want to customize disclosure_button_control - see the theme page for more info.

Hi, I thought the same as you and that’s why I created Theme - Autumn. Maybe you like.
