Extension

The brand new carefully designed Hypernym Icons theme provides an improved, modern and more eye-pleasing minimalistic look.

Extension now supports an additional customization system that allows you to change the color, opacity, and size of icons and folders.

The icons are merged into a custom font because this brings more flexibility such as dynamically inferring icon colors on hover and active states with adjustable icon sizes.

It also implements special commands for easier usage from VSCode Command Palette.
