Hide icons in sidebar

I upgraded version 2 > 3 and it now appears to be icons in the sidebar the left of each file/folder (and to the right of corresponding arrow).

I find these icons cluttering, is there anyway to hide them?

Solution

  • One way to achieve this is through theming.

    If you would like to edit your default theme to remove the folder/file icons, you must install PackageResourceViewer.

    Then you can use Sublime's command palette to execute PackageResourceViewer:Open Resource.

    Click Theme - Default followed by Default.sublime-theme

    Find and edit the section of the theme which handles folder/file icons to match this sample:

    {
    "class": "icon_file_type",
    "content_margin": [0,0]
},
{
    "class": "icon_folder",
    "content_margin": [0,0]
},
{
    "class": "icon_folder_loading",
    "content_margin": [0,0]
}
