Lynx Theme Pro ships a complete icon system alongside its eight color themes. The icon system is split into two independent categories — File & Folder Icons, which decorate the Explorer panel, and System / Product Icons, which replace VS Code’s built-in IDE chrome glyphs. Both categories are activated separately and can run side by side, so you can mix and match any Lynx icon combination with any Lynx color theme.Documentation Index

Two Icon Categories
File & Folder Icons
Three distinct visual styles — Style A, Style B, and Style C — cover file extensions, file names, language IDs, and folder names in the VS Code Explorer. All three styles are powered by the same underlying SVG pool located atsrc/assets/svg/, which contains over 1,280 hand-crafted SVG files split across dark/files/ (724 SVGs) and dark/folders/ (614 SVGs). Choosing a style is purely aesthetic — the icon coverage is identical across all three.
System / Product Icons
Two product icon themes replace the default VS Code IDE chrome — the icons you see in the Activity Bar buttons, the sidebar headers, the Explorer toolbar (new file, new folder, refresh, collapse-all), the Source Control panel, the status bar, and breadcrumb chevrons. These icons are delivered as a custom WOFF font rather than SVGs, keeping the IDE chrome pixel-perfect at any scale.How to Activate Icons
File icons and system icons are activated through separate VS Code commands, so each can be changed independently.- File Icon Theme: Open the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P/⌘Shift+P) and run Preferences: File Icon Theme, then select one of the three Lynx styles. - Product Icon Theme: Open the Command Palette and run Preferences: Product Icon Theme, then select Lynx (Material) Icons or Lynx (Test) Icons.
