icon_theme_selector: Add footer and related docs (#25042)
I've seen that the Theme modal has a footer with 2 links: Theme Docs
(which links to Configuration > Themes) on the left, Install Themes on
the right. I've basically done the same to the Icon Theme modal -
however we seem to be missing a Configuration > Icon Themes doc, I've
basically checked how it was made for Themes and pretty much adapted for
Icon Themes. Maybe a better solution would be to combine both. Or add
Icon themes section under Themes.

I hope somebody from Zed can have a look and adapt this PR where needed.

Icon Themes

Zed comes with a built-in icon theme, with more icon themes available as extensions.

Selecting an Icon Theme

See what icon themes are installed and preview them via the Icon Theme Selector, which you can open from the command palette with "icon theme selector: toggle".

Navigating through the icon theme list by moving up and down will change the icon theme in real time and hitting enter will save it to your settings file.

Installing more Icon Themes

More icon themes are available from the Extensions page, which you can access via the command palette with "zed: Extensions" or the Zed website.

Configuring Icon Themes

Your selected icon theme is stored in your settings file. You can open your settings file from the command palette with "zed: open settings" (bound to cmd-, on macOS and ctrl-, on Linux).

Just like with themes, Zed allows for configuring different icon themes for light and dark mode. You can set the mode to "light" or "dark" to ignore the current system mode.

{
  "icon_theme": {
    "mode": "system",
    "light": "Light Icon Theme",
    "dark": "Dark Icon Theme"
  }
}
