Not all icons are added to activitus #52

Hey. I am not sure, if this issue was already addressed somewhere else:

I would like Activitus to exactly mirror the icons I have in my activity bar. That means, when I install a certain extension (for example Live Share) it is added to the activity bar automatically. But it seems it does not update Activitus.

So specifically, my activity bar shows 11 icons:

But Activitus shows only the default 5:

So why is there this mismatch? And how to sync them both?

Unfortunately you'll have to set your activitus bar configuration manually - there's no way to know what extensions you have installed using the API. On top of that, the icons used in the activity bar are not available in the status bar - only codicons/octicons. The extension was never meant to fully recreate the activity bar - it's too difficult.

Thanks for clarifying that. A bummer that the api cannot do this. Cheers!
