Installing the mono version is still showing colorful icons about fileicons

Make sure only one FileIcons package is installed. Then, you may need to restart ST for it to actually re-render the icons.

I removed the original package and restarted Sublime multiple times. I'm gonna see if restarting the machine helps. Could be a caching issues or something specific to my computer. In any case, if you can't replicate it, feel free to close the issue. I'll let you know if I successfully resolve it.

Yeah, this package doesn't actually "do" anything, it just provides an override that Sublime Text should pick up on by itself. If it doesn't "just work ™️" something is probably blocking the override. I think disabling the other FileIcons package isn't enough, you need to uninstall it. Check your installed packaged, installed via package control and those you installed manually. Also, switching the UI Theme might give it the kick it needs to get going again.

I understand how it works, I attempted to build my own before stumbling across this one ;). It was a very frustrating experience.

It was a very frustrating experience.

I can believe that. Luckily someone else already got most of the basics right for me to get started with this.

I encountered the same issue and from what I can see, installing "FileIcons Mono" from package control gives you the same files as does installing "FileIcons". While the .sublime-package files are not binary-identical, they both contains colored .png files.

Hmmmmm

I think I just tagged the wrong version. I created a new tag from the mono branch, should show up on package control soon. Sorry!
