Icon themes

An icon theme sets the icons for files and folders in the project panel and in tabs. Tyrn has a built-in icon theme, and more are available as extensions.

Choose an icon theme

Open the picker from Select Icon Theme… in the Tyrn > Settings menu, or run icon theme selector: toggle from the command palette. Move through the list to preview each one. Press enter to save your pick to settings.json.

Install more

Open the Extensions view with cmd-shift-x, filter by Icon Themes and click Install. See Languages for how the Extensions view works.

Light and dark

Icon themes can differ between light and dark mode:

settings.json
{
  "icon_theme": {
    "mode": "system",
    "light": "Your Light Icon Theme",
    "dark": "Your Dark Icon Theme"
  }
}

Use the exact names shown in the picker. Set mode to "light" or "dark" to ignore the system appearance.
