Use VSCode icons in Windows Explorer

Is it possible to somehow export icons from VSCode theme, and use them as the official icons in all places, e.g. Windows Explorer?

The VS Code team added this in 1.28 update. The icon cache of the OS needs to be invalidated after the update. You may have to reinstall VS Code in order to see the updated icons.

There are still some limitations:

  • Only macOS and Windows are supported
  • Icons are not provided for all file types
  • File type icons are visible only for larger icon views (UPDATE: small icons are added in v1.29)
