Hello,

I am using Azure Data Studio.

I noticed that in Explorer Tab it lists files and files have different colors and different icons in front of it.

I would like to know what those icons and colors mean. e.g. .pdf files have obvious icon in front of it. But others are not clear.

Also, it would be interesting to know if those icons and colors come from Git and mean something related to status of its ADS properties.

Thanks

    @Susja Are these the file icons you’re asking about? Visual Studio Code Themes

     There are two icon themes that are there by default in ADS and vs code, Seti and Minimal, or you can disable icons. Other icon themes can be installed from the marketplace.

     From the theme-seti README in ADS, the icons used in the Seti icon theme come from jesseweed/seti-ui: A subtle dark colored UI theme for Atom. (github.com). If we change that you will see it updated in that readme file.

    Regards

    hi @GeethaThatipatri-MSFT

    You helped me to understand file decoration in Explorer.

    Now I have similar problem to understand object decoration in ADS related to SQL queries.

    E.g. I am starting to write a query and see the list of options that I could select. Each of it has some decoration. I assume it depends on type of object.

    Don't you have in ADS similar place that could explain the meaning of it.

    I will attach a screenshot for demonstration.

    Thanks
