Soon(ish)®

Adding new icons

Add your icon to the ~/src/icons/svgs directory.
Add the reference to that icon to the ~/src/icons/partials/fileNames.js or if your icon is referred to a directory adds the reference to the ~/src/icons/partials/folderNames.js file, otherwise to ~/src/icons/partials/fileExtensions.js if is referred to a file extension.
If you want to make the icon sensitive to be accented, modify the ~/extensions/defaults.json file, adding the icon definition to the accentableIcons array (e.g. ["_folder_open", "_folder_open_build"]) and the path to the icons.theme.iconDefinitions object.
Execute the build command.
