Inconsistent sizing, color, and usage of icons #168

Description

Our icons are in a variety of sizes and color themes. Should we instead use the file icon for Python Projects that are a single file since we use the Python icon for venv environments? Do we need an icon at all since we aren't showing one for the folder. IMO it gets very noisy with the file paths and all the icons.

    I agree

    Final decision: remove the python icon from menu item if the item is just a file. Therefore both folder and file menu items both have no icons.

    going to now get rid of all project icons - so project items in the tree view and how they are contributed externally do not include icons
