[themes] change the file icon or theme in API

[shanalikhan]

Themes :

1. Where does code store current applied theme ?
2. Where does code store all installed themes ?
3. How to get them via API in extension ?

File Icons :

1. Where does code store current applied file icon ?
2. Where does code store all installed file icons ?
3. How to get them via API in extension ?

P.S : I need it for my Code Settings Sync extension

There's current no API for extensions to find out the current icon or color theme.

#7358 will solve your problem. You can already try it in the insiders build.

To get a list of all installed theme, iterate over the packageJSON of all extensions (vscode.extension.all.forEach(e => e.packageJSON.contributes ....)
