Rider: is there a way to get rid of file icons?

Would you mind describing in more detail if there is an issue? Did you uninstall Rider, but the icons remain? (in that case reboot might help).
Were you installing Rider via ToolBox application or Rider installer?

You can change file association by right-clicking on the sample file (.sln), select `Properties`, on the `General` tab select `Change` next to `Open with`, select preferred IDE, so its icon will be displayed next to files with the same file type.

Thanks for getting back to me Dmitry.

The file icons I'm talking about are here in the Ide's file explorer.  (And it is a minor issue that I want to hide them, but as a person with a visual impairment it often helps to hide icons like these)


and in the tabs...


I already know it is a c# file... due to the extension.

You can hide the file icons in the tabs via `File | Settings | Editor | General | Editor Tabs | Show file icon` checkbox.
The only way to hide the icons in Explorer view is to write a plugin that will do it, but still, there is no such a plugin, regrettably.

Hey Dmitry,

Thank you, That makes it a lot better at least for the editor tabs.

If I ever find myself with a little extra time, I'll see if I can code a plugin and share it with others wanting to hide file explorer icons.

all the best,
