Icon request: state.done .pending .warning .error

[haraldl3san]

Hey,

I just wanted to ask if it's possible to create icons for states? The usecase would be to have files for tasks to show their state by icons. I mean it's super generic, but a nice feature in my opinion.

• state.done <i class="fa-solid fa-check"></i>
• state.pending <i class="fa-regular fa-hourglass-half"></i>
• state.warning <i class="fa-regular fa-circle-exclamation"></i>
• state.error <i class="fa-solid fa-xmark"></i>

maybe something like that?

Atom already includes generic icons as part of its built-in icon set, Octicons. You can browse the complete list of icons by opening Styleguide (or by running the styleguide:show command), then scrolling down to the "Icons" section. You should find that at least some of those icons are appropriate for your intended use case.

I'm hesitant to start adding purely generic-use icons that don't map to any particular filetype, programming language, configuration file, and so forth. It's a slippery slope towards turning a file-centric icon set into one that's literally made up of anything and everything.

Ah... didn't see I posted within the atom folder (my bad, sorry). I'm using VSCode, I'll see if I find any solution there. Maybe I'll come up with a filetype or so, then there will be an excuse.... I'm kidding of course, not really though.
