Describe the feature

I noticed that it is possible to pass tables in the 'columns' property as well, but I would like to customize two other properties: removing the extra space added to the icon and changing the color of the directory icon, something more like:

columns = {
	{
		'icon',
		directory = {
			icon = '',
			color = '#E0AF68',
			name = 'OilDir',
		},
		default_file = {
			icon = '',
			color = '#E0AF68',
			name = 'OilFile',
		},
	},
},

and not simply:

columns = {
	{
		'icon',
		directory = '',
		default_file = '',
	},
},

I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or if there is another way to achieve this.

Provide background

The idea is to have a bit more freedom in customization (but again, I'm not sure if I misunderstood something and this is already possible, if so, disregard).

I would like to achieve a result closer to this.

Additional details

I'm trying to understand how can I use highlight function conf. I tried to just pass at columns.directory table, but with no sucess.

I tried to use:

but the result is not exactly what I expect:

Okay, I've added the ability to configure the padding. You should be able to do

require("oil").setup({
  columns = { { "icon", add_padding = false } },
})

To change the color, you should configure the highlight group. There are two groups: OilDir for the directory name and OilDirIcon for the icon. For example

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'OilDirIcon', {fg = "#E0AF68"})
