Just installed VSCode and went to install some extensions and noticed that no icons were showing up associated with the extensions. Yes I know thats of no real consequence but it just really stood out compared to the screen shots on the vscode page.
This is what is shown as a screen shot on the vscode page:
This is what I see in vscode:
To view the extensions icons just enlarge the window that displays the list of extensions.
I found the fix was as simple as dragging the window splitter and making it larger. Icons will then appear. The view was simply too compact for the icons apparently.
