vim-devicons VS nvim-web-devicons

Hello guys I made a devicons theme for treemacs. This is inspired by nvim-web-devicons and vim-devicons. Here are some screenshots:

It uses plugins called renderer to change how the file tree is renderer and it has two plugins for render icons in the tree that support lambdalisue/nerdfont.vim and ryanoasis/vim-devicons, but it lacked support for nvim-web-devicons.

Better yet, if you're using the vim-devicons plugin, use the patched version at Nerd Fonts that include the icons. The rest of the post follows as equal.

Do you have vim-devicons installed (Assuming you're using nerdtree)?

Okay, that's a start. Based on a quick look through that repo, maybe you're running into this issue? I'm not sure why that would cause such a huge delay tho. Either way, I'd try adding one of the lines below to your config file:

I am not able to get vem-tabline to show the file icons in the tabs(there are only tab numbers that are displayed), with nvim, and neovide. I have installed vim-devicons, and the icons do show up in my statusline, for which I am using lightline. I have also installed a Nerd Font, so I don't know where I am going wrong. Could someone help me with this?

vim-devicons - a plugin to show icons for your files

I know you moved on dotfiles, which is good, but you will probably want to install https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons to get those icons for other plugins

This is already done I think, unless more fixes are needed https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons/pull/264

Motivation: I have been using Emacs for years but I never really sit down and wrote any serious elisp code myself. This time things changed because I saw the nvim-web-devicons. I like trying various kinds of editors, and then I found this devicons from vim editor so good. I really like it especially because it works in the terminal. People always say Emacs is best within GUI but there are times when you have to edit something in a terminal and maybe some like me just like terminal aesthetics. I mean I really like this devicons theme from vim but I never really liked vim keybindings. I want it to be part of Emacs so bad so I finally decided to learn some elisp and make it happen.

Did you install this plugin?

Did you install https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons ?

nvim-web-devicons is a plugin that maps filetypes to icons in a patched font and colors for those icons. It has default settings for both the icons and colors for many common filetypes, but they can be customized and you can add support for your own filetypes.

It uses plugins called renderer to change how the file tree is renderer and it has two plugins for render icons in the tree that support lambdalisue/nerdfont.vim and ryanoasis/vim-devicons, but it lacked support for nvim-web-devicons.

I'm configuring neovim 0.8 on windows. I've installed nvim-tree plugin with its icons nvim-web-devicons. After the installation I cannot see properly the icons in the tree. This is the screenshot with the tree and the configuration part about those plugins:

The "look" you're looking for is given by a bunch of plugins: - OneDark.nvim as colorscheme - TS Rainbow for rainbow brackets - BarBar for bufferline - Nvim Devicons and NerdFonts to view file icons - NvimTree as a file manager - Indent Blankline to show indentation guides - CompetiTest with vertical split UI - Feline as statusline plugin. In the screenshot feline is configured with a custom theme. As you can see statusline is different for CompetiTest buffers: a different statusline can be configured for every different filetype using conditional_config.
