[Suggestion] Option to use new "Material Symbols"

Open alexismdr opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Hello,

I really think that using the new "Material Symbols" introduced by Google on April 19, 2022 really makes it better by giving a much more modern look and similar to the default "Codicon" icons.

To give you an idea of what it looks like, I made a modification of the extension font using a weight of 300 and the "Noto Emoji" font (from Google) when I couldn't find an icon that fit well. Some icons are not very suitable but this is a first version to get an idea. Here is the result:

Material Icons Screenshot 2022-08-16 16 59 59

Material Symbols Screenshot 2022-08-16 17 00 16

You can also test by yourself in your VSCode by replacing the material-icons.woff file by the one below. This is not the one you can see in the screenshot above but another one scaled to have proportions more similar to the default icons. material-icons.zip

It would be really great if we could have the option to select these icons ! 😀
