10## Selecting an Icon Theme
11
12See what icon themes are installed and preview them via the Icon Theme Selector, which you can open from the command palette with `icon theme selector: toggle`.
13
14Navigating through the icon theme list by moving up and down will change the icon theme in real time and hitting enter will save it to your settings file.
15
16## Installing more Icon Themes
17
18More icon themes are available from the Extensions page, which you can access via the command palette with `zed: extensions` or the [Zed website](https://zed.dev/extensions?filter=icon-themes).
19
20## Configuring Icon Themes
21
22Your selected icon theme is stored in your settings file.
23You can open your settings file from the command palette with {#action zed::OpenSettingsFile} (bound to {#kb zed::OpenSettingsFile}).
24
25Just like with themes, Zed allows for configuring different icon themes for light and dark mode.
26You can set the mode to `"light"` or `"dark"` to ignore the current system mode.

33 "dark": "Dark Icon Theme"
