Files: designs for mimetype symbolics
We have some initial designs for grid and list views, here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/app-mockups/-/blob/master/files/grids.png
The main thing that's missing is the visuals for the different mimetypes, when there isn't a thumbnail. That means providing colours and symbolic icons for each mimetype.
