Description

Type: Bug

### Description
When activating the icon theme, the Welcome tab icon is overlapping/rendering directly on top of the default VS Code tab icon instead of replacing it properly or rendering cleanly.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Install and activate the Icon Theme.
2. Open the **Welcome** page (`Cmd + Shift + P` -> `Help: Welcome`).
3. Observe the icon rendered on the `Welcome` tab.

### Expected Behavior
The extension icon should cleanly display on the Welcome tab without overlapping or glitching over the default tab icon.

### Actual Behavior
The custom icon and the default tab icon overlap on top of each other.
