Material Icon Theme by Mattia Astorino was used because it provided slick folder icons with customizeable colors and a large set of file type icons with a flat style and pale/contrast-lowered colors making it a great match to my Nord theme.
With the latest update the icons were changed to use bright contrast colors while the folder icons changed in a bad way too.

Therefore I've decided to give the popular Material Icon Theme by Philipp Kief another try (last time it had the same style like the current theme after the latest update and way less customization options). It turned out the theme looks even better and is more advanced in almost all points and provided a good UX and style:

  • Even larger amount of supported file types
  • Multiple theme style accents
  • Customizable folder and file icon colors through the material-icon-theme.saturation option to reduce the file color contrast and the material-icon-theme.folders.color & material-icon-theme.folders.theme options for the folders!
  • Arrows of folders can be hidden

Overall the theme full fills all my requirements and will therefore be configured as default.
