 ## A little bit of history about this extension
+
 As you all know, VSCode currently supports File and Folder icons but this was not like this from the beginning. Read this great article by [@chrisdias](https://twitter.com/chrisdias): ["Rebellion. Mutiny. Revolt. Uprising."](https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/09/08/icon-themes) if you want to learn the history about this plugin and how finally icons landed in VSCode.
 
 During the summer of 2016, I had great support from the community and the VSCode team. It's also worth mentioning the tremendous help that I received from [@aeschli](https://github.com/aeschli) (VSCode Team) and especially from [@jens1o](https://github.com/jens1o) (community member), which turned out to be a 14-year-old amazing coder!

 ## Main Contributors
+
 This project has gone far beyond it's main purpose, which was to provide icons for VSCode when the platform didn't still support them, and now it tries to provide the most complete set of icons you can find. I began this journey alone but this wouldn't have been possible without the help of many of you. Some members of the community have been strongly committed to the project and now they are part of the core team of mantainers.

 ## State of the extension
+
+[@JimiC](https://github.com/JimiC) has brought most of **7.11.0** which comes with some brand new icons and a really new cool feature, the ability to customize the `custom icons folder` path. With this, you will be able to ship your own custom icons along your repository and share them with your team. Or even store them in the cloud and have them available everywhere. If you want to know more about how it works, just read the [custom icons section](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/blob/master/README.md#custom-icons).
+
 With the release of **7.10.0**, we improved the way the extension is handling your manual changes to a `presets` or `associations` configuration. By default, every time you change any of the aforementioned configurations, you will be presented with the message to `Restart` the editor, for the changes to take effect. Of course, you can always disable this behavior. See the [Configuration](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons#configuration) section for more details.
 
 As from **release 7.7.0**, the `project detection` feature has become smarter and is totally unobtrusive. If you have it disabled, because you found it annoying for any reason, **we urge you to re-enable it** and check out its new functionality.

+We also keep supporting the ability for users to customize the icons without having to inject anything into the `Visual Studio Code`'s code.
 
 This was a huge step to allow the users to fully customize how the icons looked like and how they could be associated to any extension at will.
 
 `Custom Icon association` is still not supported by `VSCode API` but we thought that it was a very demanded feature and thought of a way to make it work for you. Remember that there's still an [open issue in VSCode's repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/12493#issuecomment-249117649) talking about how they could provide official support for this feature. Provide a +1 if you want the VSCode team to support it out of the box. More information in [#328](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/issues/328).

 ## Installation
+
 Some people have reported that they cannot find the extension when they insert the installation command:
-```
+
+```sh
 ext install vscode-icons
 ```
 
 If you're in the same position try this:
+
 ```sh
 ext install icons
 # or
 ext install "vscode-icons"
 ```
 
 ## Enable the extension
-Go to **File > Preferences > File Icon Theme > VSCode Icons**.

 ## List of supported icons
+
 The list is slowly growing. If you want to check what icons are currently supported take a look [here](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/blob/master/src/icon-manifest/supportedExtensions.ts). If you feel that there's some icon missing please let me know through [the issues section of the Github's repo](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/issues).
 
 If you're a designer and you're willing to collaborate by showing your icons to the world you're more than welcome!! Currently, we don't have icons for the light template, so any help will be really appreciated and credit will be given to you ;D
 
 ## List of supported folder icons
+
 If you want to check which folder icons are currently supported take a look [here](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/blob/master/src/icon-manifest/supportedFolders.ts). As usual, if you want to add an icon submit a PR or [raise a Github issue](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/issues).
 
 ## Configuration
+
 If you don't want to see the `new version` message every time the extension updates, then set this configuration setting:
+
 ```json
 {
   "vsicons.dontShowNewVersionMessage": true
 }
 ```
 
 If you don't want to see the `Restart` message every time you manually change the extension's `presets` and `associations` configurations, then set this configuration setting:
+
 ```json
 {
   "vsicons.dontShowConfigManuallyChangedMessage": true
 }
 ```
 
 ## Customizing the extension
+
 The extension gives you the ability to change how the icons look or even what icons are associated to each extension.
 
 We have exposed the internal API that we are using to build the `icon manifest` so you can also use it in your `vscode settings` and generate it at runtime. This will allow you to customize all the icons, add new ones and so on.

 ## Contributing with translations

 We're looking for people willing to help us translate the extension's messages into [all the languages that `vscode` supports](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/locales).
 
 We're currently supporting `English`, `German`, `Italian`, `Russian`, `Simplified Chinese` and `Spanish`. If you're willing to help with the translations of the missing languages take a look at [#526](https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/issues/526) and get your hands dirty. We'll really appreciate it! ;P
 
 ## Building the extension's source code
+
 If you're willing to explore the extension source code and want to make it work you should run this:
-```
+
+```sh
 npm install -d
 npm run build
 ```
 
 ### Building the extension's source code via docker
+
 Make sure that you have docker installed.
-```
+
+```sh
 docker build -t vscode-icons .
 docker run --rm -it -v $PWD/dist:/app/dist vscode-icons
 ```
+
 All of the files will be generated in the `dist` folder.
