   What would the ideal api look like for you?

   icon-name: Matteo's IDE
   icon: /path/to/icon.png

   Something like that?^

   Yep, sorry for late reply. Got buried in my notifications.

   Why. Stale bot is awful for open source repositories, as it creates a false understanding of what is open or closed.

   Article on this: https://blog.benwinding.com/github-stale-bots/

   TLDR: You are creating a false-sense of fewer issues. Duplicate issues will happen more often, and you're not fixing anything.

   PS: I still think this is an essential API, not just for my personal use, but for companies that use and want to "brand" their editors.

    Much needed feature. It will be helpful if we are able to pass it in the command line.

    From a maintainer's perspective, it does help us fight through noise and focus on essential issues. We don't lock them and it's very easy to open things that accidentally go stale. It's a tradeoff, but we've found it helpful.

    And just to make sure, the method of replacing the icons on src/browser/media as described here #1390 doesn't work, right? At least it didn't for me.

    Replacing the images in src/browser/media should work (although your browser may cache the old ones).

    You're right, it did work. Cache got me for more than a couple of days, but now it's alright. Thanks!
