Customizing icons in Current Folder window
2 views (last 30 days)

In the Current Folder window, one sees different types of files with different types of extensions (.mat, .m, etc...) assigned an icon.
Are these icons defined in MATLAB, or elsewhere, and is there a way to define one's own icon for new file types/extensions? For example, CUDA code is customarily given a .cu extension. Is it possible to make the Current Folder window display a certain kind of icon for files with that extension?

Not sure. What happens if you change the icon in the operating system for a particular extension? Does it show up in the current folder with the new icon?

Yeah, if they offered that in the preferences. My guess is that the icons they chose are hard coded into some resource and not available for you to change.
