This extension allows to display file and folder icons in dired mode and uses mimetype as the displayed logo and adheres to the icon-theme-spec file naming convention, which will help you to apply icon themes that you can download from the internet in your emacs.
Many thanks to @vinceliuice, whose icon resource files for the mimes section of the Qogir work are used in this repository by default.
