Icons No Longer Distinguishing Between File Types

Icons No Longer Distinguishing Between File Types

Hi! When Moodle pushed out the new update, my site lost the ability to have the icons that distinguish between file types. All of my files now look like one generic file icon. I've got a course where I'm training users on how to manipulate files, so I have quite a few different file uploads within a module. Does anyone know of a fix for this?  Or how I could differentiate the icons for different file types?

Thank you!

Thank you! That's helpful. It sounds like they just didn't consider this when making the change, and I don't have any recourse, currently. Thank you!

Was it really helpful? I mean, you are still left with that single icon, because "they just didn't consider". Who are they? Unlike, say Microsoft, Moodle is "Community driven, globally supported" https://moodle.org/. Now some mysterious characters telling the teachers how to dress, if I may take an analogy. With the difference that in the analog world the teachers still dress themselves, in the LMS they have no choice, the "UX" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=8698 is given!
