Folder and File Icons Not Displayed Properly – Only Vertical Rectangular Symbols Shown

[ShyanJMC]

In the file explorer panel of Valin, folder and file icons are not rendering correctly. Instead of recognizable icons, only vertical rectangular placeholder symbols appear in front of directory and file names. This affects usability and makes the interface less intuitive.

This issue may be due to missing or improperly loaded icon fonts or assets. To improve portability and ensure consistent rendering across platforms, it is recommended that essential icons be bundled directly with the application as embedded SVG assets, rather than relying on system fonts or external icon packs.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Valin and navigate to the file explorer.
2. Open any folder.
3. Observe the folder and file listings.

Expected Behavior:
Icons representing folders and file types should be visible and rendered correctly.

Actual Behavior:
Only vertical rectangular symbols (likely font fallback glyphs) appear instead of the intended icons.

Environment:

• Valin version: 0.25.0
• OS: Arch/Artix Linux

Yeah, I have been using emojis because these are easy to use, I should use SVGs indeed
