Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

File icons

Folder icons

Customize file & folder color

You can change the color of the default file and folder icons using the command palette:

or via user settings:

"material-icon-theme.folders.color": "#ef5350",
"material-icon-theme.files.color": "#42a5f5",

Folder themes

You can change the design of the folder icons using the command palette:

or via user settings:

"material-icon-theme.folders.theme": "specific"

Custom icon opacity

You can set a custom opacity for the icons:

"material-icon-theme.opacity": 0.5

Custom icon saturation

If colors do not make you happy you can change the icons to have less saturation making them look grayish or completely grayscale by setting saturation to 0:

"material-icon-theme.saturation": 0.5

You can also achieve no saturation (i.e., grayscale) by setting Toggle Grayscale to ON.

Custom icon associations

You can customize the icon associations directly in the user settings.

File associations

With the *.[extension] pattern you can define custom file icon associations. For example you could define an icon for *.sample and every file that ends with .sample will have the defined icon. However, not all files with the same file extension always have the same icon. For some specific file names there is a special icon. In order to overwrite all the specific file icons as well, two asterisks must be set instead of one, i.e. **.[extension].

If there's no leading * it will be automatically configured as filename and not as file extension.

"material-icon-theme.files.associations": {
    "*.ts": "typescript",
    "**.json": "json",
    "fileName.ts": "angular"
}

Custom SVG icons

It's possible to add custom icons by adding a path to an SVG file which is located relative to the extension's dist folder. However, the restriction applies that the directory in which the custom icons are located must be within the extensions directory of the .vscode folder in the user directory.

For example a custom SVG file called sample.svg can be placed in an icons folder inside of VS Code's extensions folder:

.vscode
 ┗ extensions
   ┗ icons
     ┗ sample.svg

In the settings.json (User Settings only!) the icon can be associated to a file name or file extension like this:

"material-icon-theme.files.associations": {
    "fileName.ts": "../../icons/sample"
}

Note: The custom file name must be configured in the settings without the file ending .svg as shown in the example above.

Folder associations

The following configuration can customize the folder icons. It is also possible to overwrite existing associations and create nice combinations. For example you could change the folder theme to "classic" and define icons only for the folder names you like.

"material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
    "customFolderName": "src",
    "sample": "dist"
}

Custom SVG folder icons

Similar to the files, it is also possible to reference your own SVG icons for folder icons. Here it's important to provide two SVG files: one for the folder if it's closed and another one for the opened state. These two files - let's call them "folder-sample.svg" and "folder-sample-open.svg" - have to be placed into a directory which is relative to the extensions dist folder. This directory has to be somewhere inside of the .vscode/extensions folder.

In our example we place them into an icons folder inside of the .vscode/extensions folder:

.vscode
 ┗ extensions
   ┗ icons
     ┣ folder-sample.svg
     ┗ folder-sample-open.svg

In the settings.json (User Settings only!) the folder icons can be associated to a folder name (e.g. "src") like this:

"material-icon-theme.folders.associations": {
    "src": "../../../../icons/folder-sample"
}

Language associations

With the following configuration you can customize the language icons. It is also possible to overwrite existing associations.

"material-icon-theme.languages.associations": {
    "languageId": "iconName",
    "json": "json"
}

You can see the available icon names in the overview above. See "Known language identifiers" in the VS Code documentation for a list of permitted values for languageId.
