Explorer Window Visually difficult to read

[stuartsfleming]

Issue Type: Feature Request

Hi. The explorer window has several problems:
1, The main directories should be in larger font and bold face.
2. The tree-like structure should have larger indents. It is almost impossible to see the difference between a main folder and the components underneath it.

Indent Indent Indent! or at least have big icons to identify a directory vs a file

Have a nice day!

Re item 2, use the workbench.tree.indent setting.

You can look forward to the next release, which adds the option of indent lines. See #17777. It's already available if you install Insiders.
