Folder Icons

[jdsimcoe]

Are you considering including folder icons in the theme at some point?

I am interested in this too, I find them better than the little arrows. Could be made an option. :)

I think an option could work.

I had toyed with folders when doing the Soda Theme 2 design, but there were some indenting limitations with the sidebar rules that made the layout a bit confusing. If the option straight up replaced the arrows with folder icons, that might avoid the indent issue.

[greduan]

I see, well it can be done either way, just make sure to give us options: Use arrows, use arrows and folders (if you implement that) and use folders, just so that we have the max customization. :)

Ah yes, @doabit I am familiar with the Phoenix theme, just want to make this one better though, cause I like this one better. :)

:+1: for this

It's worth pointing out a fork of the Soda theme that implements this: https://github.com/leonardofaria/soda-theme

If you don't want to use the fork, you can put the important bits into a local settings override file. Obligatory screenshot:

This shows the indentation issue @bymeasoda described. If only there was a way to have an icon for files...

[jakebellacera]

If it's possible to change the folder icons, what if you just changed it to a closed folder by default, and an opened folder if expanded?

[tobiastom]

+1, also I think the open and close state would not be necessary at all…

[buymeasoda]

I've added folder icons for the sidebar and a setting to turn them on or off. The default at the moment is stille the standard arrow icon.

To turn on sidebar folder icons, add the following setting to your Settings - User file:

"soda_folder_icons": true
