How can I change the icon colorscheme?

[sainttttt]

Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to change the colorscheme of the icons (dev icons or mini icons) that are used it fzf lua. https://github.com/dgox16/devicon-colorscheme.nvim - this plugin seems to change the colorscheme in some parts of nvim but it doesn't seem to carry over for fzf-lua. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Haven’t looked into it’s internal but if it works the way I think it does calling require("fzf-lua.devicons").unload() once (after changing the theme) might work.

Tried doing this but didn't seem to work.

  {
    "dgox16/devicon-colorscheme.nvim",
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
    },
    config = function()
      require("devicon-colorscheme").setup({
        colors = {
          blue = "#92a2d5",
          cyan = "#85b5ba",
          green = "#000000",
          magenta = "#e29eca",
          orange = "#f5a191",
          purple = "#aca1cf",
          red = "#ea83a5",
          white = "#c9c7cd",
          yellow = "#ea83a5",
          bright_blue = "#000000",
          bright_cyan = "#99c9ce",
          bright_green = "#9dc6ac",
          bright_magenta = "#ecaad6",
          bright_orange = "#ffae9f",
          bright_purple = "#b9aeda",
          bright_red = "#f591b2",
          bright_yellow = "#ea83a5",
        },
      })
      require("fzf-lua.devicons").unload()
    end
  },

Tried this but the changes don't take effect in fzf-lua. The icons do change color in other parts of nvim though!

Fzf-lua gets the colors directly from the internal structures of nvim-web-devicons using the API, I have t explored the code of the plug-in you listed but it’s possible it’s only changing the DevIconExt highlight groups.

Yeah https://github.com/dgox16/devicon-colorscheme.nvim/blob/fdfce12e3c40b0bcde82d09e75ac1ac72d8095fe/lua/devicon-colorscheme/highlights.lua#L12 That is what it seems like its doing.

[ibhagwan]

The devicons code has been through rounds of optimizations in order to get correct colors in the external process (icons customizations, light/dark modes), unless there’s official support through the original plugins which changes the colors returned by the API I don’t think it’s worth the effort.

Try mini.icons it should have an adaptable color scheme which also gets updated from the highlights on every run.

Okay I'll look into that then, thanks!
