Describe the solution you'd like New sets of icons that can be chosen with a setting

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Hmmmmmmmmmm while this is a good idea, this would bloat up the package a lot... besides outlined icons are not for all icons, aren't they?

Can you provide more information about what you're referring to?

[maicol07]

Yeah, some outlined icons don't exist. Simply that icon will fallback to the default Material one. I recommend materialdesignicons.com or Icons8 to look for icons since they got much more icons than the standard Google set.

I have two ideas to avoid to bloat up the plugin:

1. Provide optional plugin to add more icons variant (although I don't know if it's possible to get plugins interact each other)
2. Allow users to add icon sets to a specific folder(s) and allow users to switch the icons through a setting.

It would be great if standard icon sets (outlined, filled, round, sharp, dual tone, ...) can be provided with the plugin release (i.e. from Github releases)

@mallowigi what do yout think?

[mallowigi]

This will have to wait. Currently we have a big hurdle is that there is no way to control the PSI and UI Icons. These are replaced using the concept of "patchers", but they are on a "per-plugin level" (e.g. replace the path) rather than on a "per icon level" (replace the icon).

One big refactor that I'll have to do at some point would be to add both. This would allow both custom associations and whatever you are recommending.

But this will happen way, way later. (That is unless you want to dirty your hands :))
