[Qt-creator] Customising file type icons shown in File system and Projects view

[Ziller Eike]

coreplugin/fileiconprovider.cpp:

     // Get icon from OS.
    if (HostOsInfo::isWindowsHost() || HostOsInfo::isMacHost())
        return QFileIconProvider::icon(fileInfo);

    // File icons are unknown on linux systems.
    return (fileInfo.isDir()) ?
           QFileIconProvider::icon(fileInfo) :
           d->m_unknownFileIcon;


I suppose that code might not be aligned to reality anymore (it's certainly old code), so you could try what happens if you remove the special handling for !win && !mac
