Official SVG icon set for Visual Studio Code, including dark and light theme variants.
vscode-icons is the official icon repository for Visual Studio Code, containing all the SVG icons used in the editor's interface. It provides both dark and light theme variants for hundreds of icons representing common UI actions, file types, and development concepts. This collection serves as the definitive reference for developers extending or customizing VS Code's visual elements.
Visual Studio Code extension developers, theme creators, and developers building custom integrations with VS Code who need access to the official icon set for consistent UI implementation.
As the official Microsoft-maintained repository, it guarantees authenticity and consistency with VS Code's design system. The SVG format ensures scalability, while the comprehensive coverage eliminates the need to create custom icons for common development concepts.
Icons for Visual Studio Code
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
As Microsoft's authoritative repository, all icons strictly adhere to VS Code's minimalist aesthetic, ensuring seamless visual integration for extensions and themes.
Icons are provided exclusively as vector-based SVGs, guaranteeing crisp rendering at any resolution without quality loss, as noted in the repository description.
Each icon includes both light and dark versions, pre-optimized for VS Code's theme system, simplifying implementation for theme-aware interfaces.
Icons are logically named and stored in structured directories (e.g., light/ and dark/ folders), making them easy to browse and reference directly from GitHub.
The repository only offers raw SVG files without npm packages, component libraries, or build tools, requiring manual handling for most use cases.
Icons are tailored specifically for VS Code's interface, making them too simplistic or contextually inappropriate for applications outside the developer tool ecosystem.
The README focuses solely on listing icons without guidance on implementation, forcing developers to reverse-engineer usage from VS Code's source code.
