[icons] Support to allow re-using VSCode icons in user extensions

[jeremymeng]

It would be nice if there's a supported API to access VSCode inbox icons.

Expected:

I want to reuse icons in the IntelliSense suggestion window outside of completion items (for example a TreeDataProvider).

Actual:

I had to copy the icon files to my extension project to use them

@aeschli I do not think intelli-sense icons can be customised? I am planning to support resource based icons in custom views.#27823

Huge 👍 from me, my extension currently includes a copy of all of the Symbol Picker icons.

I am working on a tree-view. I would like use vscode icons too. A extension has to like it belong to that, which it is extending! I am looking for icons to refresh the tree or delete a tree item etc..

Had been request this since #28519 But then you @sandy081 said it was duplicate. And then you just state this in >27823

Hence, I asked to create an issue per feature request.

And my issue was locked. What's wrong with this? Please reopen my old issue

What exactly is still pending for this? It seems codicons can be used in most places now, and where it can't there are specific issues opened.

[sandy081]

Codicons can be used now as tree item icons. Hence closing this.

Please file an issue for codicons if needed.

What about doing this for file icons? In my extension, I have "iconThemes" under "contributes", and my extension does provide the icon, but all of the other icons are gone too.
