+# Icon Themes
+
+Extensions may provide icon themes in order to change the icons Zed uses for folders and files.
+
+## Example extension
+
+The [Material Icon Theme](https://github.com/zed-extensions/material-icon-theme) serves as an example for the structure of an extension containing an icon theme.
+
+## Directory structure
+
+There are two important directories for an icon theme extension:
+
+- `icon_themes`: This directory will contain one or more JSON files containing the icon theme definitions.
+- `icons`: This directory contains the icons assets that will be distributed with the extension. You can created subdirectories in this directory, if so desired.
+
+Each icon theme file should adhere to the JSON schema specified at [`https://zed.dev/schema/icon_themes/v0.1.0.json`](https://zed.dev/schema/icon_themes/v0.1.0.json).
+
+Here is an example of the structure of an icon theme:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://zed.dev/schema/icon_themes/v0.1.0.json",
+  "name": "My Icon Theme",
+  "author": "Your Name",
+  "themes": [
+    {
+      "name": "My Icon Theme",
+      "appearance": "dark",
+      "directory_icons": {
+        "collapsed": "./icons/folder.svg",
+        "expanded": "./icons/folder-open.svg"
+      },
+      "chevon_icons": {
+        "collapsed": "./icons/chevron-right.svg",
+        "expanded": "./icons/chevron-down.svg"
+      },
+      "file_icons": {
+        "audio": { "path": "./icons/audio.svg" },
+        "default": { "path": "./icons/file.svg" },
+        "rust": { "path": "./icons/rust.svg" }
+        // ...
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Each icon path is resolved relative to the root of the extension directory.
+
+In this example, the extension would have a structure like so:
+
+```
+extension.toml
+icon_themes/
+  my-icon-theme.json
+icons/
+  audio.svg
+  chevron-down.svg
+  chevron-right.svg
+  file.svg
+  folder-open.svg
+  folder.svg
+  rust.svg
+```
