Zed, a platform known for its monochrome icons, has introduced a feature allowing users to customize folder and file icons using various icon themes, responding to user preferences for diverse icon styles. Currently, users can select from themes like Material Icon Theme and VSCode Icons, with more themes expected soon thanks to community contributions. Users can easily switch between installed icon themes using the icon theme selector available in the command palette. The platform encourages users to create their own themes or import favorites from other editors, with documentation available to assist in the process. Zed is available for macOS and Linux, and the company is actively hiring individuals passionate about software development to join their team.
