Add a shared icon module (75 inline SVGs across 31 files, close icon pasted 10x) #208
Description
Problem
There is no icon module: 75 inline <svg> blocks across 31 files, with heavy duplication and mixed media.
- The Octicon close path (
M3.72 3.72…) is hand-pasted 10 times; copy/branch and external-link paths several times each; the folder icon exists in two subtly different variants that render visibly differently. - Text glyphs serve as icons alongside SVGs:
✕(SubTaskStrip.tsx:74,CommitTreeOverlay.tsx:149,TerminalSearchOverlay.tsx:150),✓(SubTaskStrip.tsx:236,TaskStepsSection.tsx:231),❯throughoutPromptInput.tsx, and an emoji📁(NewTaskDialog.tsx:1093) — emoji render platform-dependently and full-color, breaking the otherwise monochromecurrentColoricon language. - Icon sizes span ~9 distinct widths (8–16 px).
Proposed fix
A single src/components/icons.tsx exporting the ~20 actual glyphs as components with a size prop (16 default, 12 small), then replace the pasted SVGs and glyph/emoji icons. Mechanical work, good first issue.
From a full design/UX audit (2026-07-07); adversarially verified (counts re-derived). Line numbers as of b342bbd (v1.12.0).

Hi @johannesjo! 👋
I hope you don't mind me jumping in — I came across #208 while looking for a way to contribute to parallel-code, and it seemed like a great fit. I've put together a PR that completes the shared icon module migration: #276 extends
src/components/icons.tsxto cover the remaining glyphs and replaces the leftover inline<svg>blocks and ✓/× text-glyph icons, keeping the rendering pixel-identical everywhere.If the scope or approach isn't quite what you had in mind — or a 39-file PR feels like too much in one go — I'd be more than happy to split it into smaller tranches, tweak the component API, or rework anything to better match the project's direction. Just say the word. 🙂
Thanks for maintaining such a nice project, and for labeling approachable issues like this one — it genuinely makes it much easier for newcomers to find a way in!
