@robertohuertasm Yes, it works after i reinstalled.

exactly

Ok! So we’ve learnt that in case that a clean install does not work we have to manually delete the resources folder to start afresh.

from insiders

I’m not really sure at the moment. What i can see is that the workbench.main.js file is not being modified, which would indicate some lack of permissions but you’re not receiving any warning and the replace function doesn’t write into your console, which is weird because if the modification would fail you should have a message there… so let’s do something:

  • Reinstall your vscode
  • Be sure that you don’t have any .bak file in the folder
  • Uninstall the extension (restart and all the stuff).
  • Check out again the folder: no .bak files should be there.
  • Install the extension (restart, blah, blah)
  • Execute icons enable but before restarting check the console for errors.
  • Share with us the errors (if any) you have found and these files: workbench.main.js, workbench.main.css, workbench.main.js.bak and workbench.main.css.bak

Then, provided that you still have some errors, we’ll analyse those files to find out what’s happening.

now trying give me a sec 😃
