VSCodium Icons is a collection of alternative app icons for VSCodium, a popular open-source code editor. If you use VSCodium but are not a fan of its default logo, this project gives you a variety of custom icons to choose from so your app feels more personalized on your computer. The project offers a simple menu of options organized into three categories: shapes, backgrounds, and colors. You can pick from seven different base shapes, each designed by a different community member. From there, you can choose a background style, such as a simple circle, a rounded rectangle, a macOS-style shape, or no background at all. Finally, you can select from eight colors, including blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow. You can mix and match these elements to find the exact look you want. This is useful for anyone who uses VSCodium and wants to customize their desktop. For example, if you have both standard Visual Studio Code and VSCodium installed on the same machine, their default icons can look very similar and be easy to confuse. Swapping in a distinct icon from this collection helps you instantly tell which editor you are opening. You can preview all the combinations on a live website linked in the project before deciding which one you like best. To actually apply a new icon, the project points you to external guides for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The instructions vary depending on your operating system, but they essentially involve either replacing the icon inside the application file directly or rebuilding the app from its source code with your chosen icon included. The README does not go into detail on the rebuild process, so you would need to follow the linked guides for the actual steps.
