Those using Visual Studio Code should be getting a brand new icon soon. The tweak has been made to both the Insider and Stable icons, which will be identical across all three platforms.
Folks who use Visual Studio Code, Microsoft’s free cross-platform IDE announced back in 2015, should start seeing a new set of icons for both Insider and Stable builds.
As those who’ve used the IDE may know, this is not the first time Code has received an icon overhaul, with version 1.17 from September of 2017 bringing the first refreshed icon set. The Stable version’s colour was changed to orange – prompting comparisons to Sublime -, while Insiders got a slightly lighter shade of green. The change wasn’t met in a very positively received, so the colour of the Stable build icons was changed back to blue. You can see a selection of past, current, and future icons below:
After the introduction of the new Visual Studio 2019 icon and the IDE’s subsequent release, as well as the newly redesigned Office icons, Code’s icon was due for another redesign.
