Default icon is not working correctly about nvim-web-devicons HOT 12 CLOSED

I solved some of my issue. Part of it was I had to set some things for the file tree explorer itself. However, the default icon isn't working for everything.

To confirm: does the default default icon show when you remove set_default_icon ?

Not sure what you mean... if I delete the set_delete_icon function does the default icon show??

Here is also another thing I am seeing -- I would assume the default icon would take over here when the TelescopePrompt comes up but it doesn't... However, it does when the help buffer is open. Check the status bar on the bottom right.

No default icon:

Default icon:

from nvim-web-devicons.

Experimenting with your setup:

require("nvim-web-devicons").set_default_icon('D', '#6d8086', 65)
print(vim.inspect(require("nvim-web-devicons").get_default_icon()))

{
  color = "#6d8086",
  cterm_color = 65,
  icon = "D",
  name = "Default"
}

require("nvim-web-devicons").set_default_icon('X')
print(vim.inspect(require("nvim-web-devicons").get_default_icon()))

{
  icon = "X",
  name = "Default"
}

That is working as intended, presuming that icon in your screenshot is require("nvim-web-devicons")

Yes.

However... that's not to say that nvim-tree, telescope or lualine will actually use it, they may use their own.

Experimenting with nvim-tree and :NvimWebDeviconsHiTest shows that the default icon is not shown or used. Investigating...

:NvimWebDeviconsHiTest not showing the default is unrelated. Fixed at #451

nvim-tree is not showing the default icon, contradicting help:

            *nvim-tree.renderer.icons.web_devicons.file.enable*
            Show icons on files.
            Overrides |nvim-tree.renderer.icons.glyphs.default|

        *nvim-tree.renderer.icons.glyphs.default*
        Glyph for files.
        Overridden by |nvim-tree.renderer.icons.web_devicons| if available.

RE lualine: it does not show default icons. I'll leave telescope to you...

Does resolution of this issue resolve your concerns?

I left a comment over there. Happy to test, just unsure how.

@alex-courtis Still not seeing the default icon taking effect even after updating nvim-tree.

That's no good; we'll get to the bottom of this. I reckon it's nvim-tree.

Please raise an nvim-tree bug report with your nvim-tree and nvim-webdevicons minimal configuration so that we may reproduce and fix.
