Feature Request: Theming Enhancement - Harmonize Text Color with Icon Hues in File Explorer

[christianmeier]

Hello,

I would like to suggest a theming enhancement for the file explorer that would create a more visually cohesive experience.

Currently, the text color for file and folder names is uniform, regardless of the icon's color. My proposal is to introduce an option that allows the text color to be a hue derived from its associated icon.

To be clear, I am not suggesting an exact 1:1 color match, as this could lead to readability issues (e.g., a bright yellow icon with bright yellow text). Instead, the text color should be a complementary or related shade that takes its base hue from the icon. For example:

A yellow JavaScript icon could have its filename displayed in a darker, more readable gold or amber color.
A blue TypeScript icon could be accompanied by text in a legible light-blue or cyan.
A red node_modules folder icon could have text in a muted burgundy or soft red.
This feature would create a more sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing interface, making the file tree easier to scan and parse visually. It would be a step beyond simple icon theming and would allow for a deeper level of customization, similar to the polished look one might find in setups like a customized LazyVim.

This could be an opt-in feature for users who want to enhance their editor's theme.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe this subtle but impactful change would be a fantastic addition for users who value a highly customized and visually appealing workspace.
