This PR improves the recent projects picker in the context of multi-workspace: - The currently active project now appears in the "This Window" section with a checkmark indicator. Clicking it simply dismisses the picker, since there's nothing to switch to. This feels like a better UX because it gives you visual confirmation of where you are. - The remove button is hidden for the current project entry, both in the row and the footer, to prevent accidentally removing the workspace you're actively using. - The "Add to Workspace" button now uses a more descriptive icon (`FolderOpenAdd`) and shows a meta tooltip clarifying that it adds the project as a multi-root folder project. The primary click/enter behavior remains unchanged—it opens the selected project in the current window's multi-workspace. The "Open in New Window" action continues to be available via the icon button or shift+enter. Release Notes: - Improved the recent projects picker to show the currently active project in the "This Window" section with a checkmark indicator.
Zed Icons
Guidelines
Icons are a big part of Zed, and they're how we convey hundreds of actions without relying on labeled buttons. When introducing a new icon, it's important to ensure consistency with the existing set, which follows these guidelines:
- The SVG view box should be 16x16.
- For outlined icons, use a 1.2px stroke width.
- Not all icons are mathematically aligned; there's quite a bit of optical adjustment. However, try to keep the icon within an internal 12x12 bounding box as much as possible while ensuring proper visibility.
- Use the
filledandoutlinedterminology when introducing icons that will have these two variants. - Icons that are deeply contextual may have the feature context as their name prefix. For example,
ToolWeb,ReplPlay,DebugStepInto, etc. - Avoid complex layer structures in the icon SVG, like clipping masks and similar elements. When the shape becomes too complex, we recommend running the SVG through SVGOMG to clean it up.
Sourcing
Most icons are created by sourcing them from Lucide. Then, they're modified, adjusted, cleaned up, and simplified depending on their use and overall fit with Zed.
Sometimes, we may use other sources like Phosphor, but we also design many icons completely from scratch.
Contributing
To introduce a new icon, add the .svg file to the assets/icon directory and then add its corresponding item to the icons.rs file within the crates directory.
- SVG files in the assets folder follow a snake_case name format.
- Icons in the
icons.rsfile follow the PascalCase name format.
Make sure to tag a member of Zed's design team so we can review and adjust any newly introduced icon.
