Separate vscode application icon based on languages is not a good option, what if we’re using workspace opening different language projects in single vscode instance.

As a heavy user, all projects, knowledge management and notes cannot be put in one single vscode instance.

vscode is a swiss army knife,There are many uses, such as SVG draw and SQL management tool. I just want to use different uses and icons to distinguish them

As most of the time my projects uses different languages, I don't agree with the example however it can still be interesting to do it between projects(workspaces) when the user want a personal icon. I am also worrying about the feasibility on every OS.

Well, I believe this is wrong and it is interesting to have the possibility to open multiple project in the same window as in #43188 but I understand that it may be interesting for some usage (as you pointed out just after) to have multiple window with different icons. A bit like if you had multiple applications.

So yes, why not, +1 😄
