Description

Hello,

I'm writing regarding this issue.

The problem is that VSCode doesn't recognise Mint's theme and instead displays the default icon.

I tried the solution proposed here but it works only temporarily, because VSCode will automatically restore its default icon with every update.

Please let me know if you need more information.

  • VS Code Version: 1.77.1
  • OS Version: Linux Mint 21 x86_64
