Plugin Icons

Extra icons plugin icons

Use the checkboxes in the Plugin icons table to enable or disable the icon override for the associated files.

This table has five columns. For each line, it shows:

Extra icons plugin icons line
  1. The icon to apply.

  2. A checkbox that says if the icon override is enabled or not.

  3. A description of the rule associated to the icon override. This usually says it overrides a file icon by its name or thanks to a regular expression.

  4. Optional tags. Some icons associated with the same technology (per example, Docker or Angular) may have the same tag. Tags are purely informational and can be used by Quick actions.

  5. If you see the Extra icons reboot icon in this column, that means you need to restart your IDE to apply changes. Otherwise, changes are applied once you validate the form.

Alternative Icons

Several icon overrides have a similar description with some of them ending with "(alternative)", "(alternative 2)", etc.

Example:

Extra icons plugin icons alternatives

In this case, Extra Icons selects the first enabled icon override for swagger-config.yaml files. Otherwise:

  • If you want to use the second icon, disable the first one.

  • If there are three icon overrides, disable the two first icons to use the third.

  • And so on.

This way, you can choose among multiple available icons for the same icon override.

Quick Actions
