Folder Color for Caja file manager

Folder Color for Nemo (with icons enabled in menus)

• Folder Color is now themable, meaning that it is no longer restricted to the default Ubuntu / Linux Mint icon themes. Unfortunately, no icon themes support it for now, but Numix should support it soon;
• support for small icon resolution (if for instance you're using grid/list view with zoom out);
• icons in submenu: you can now see the actual folder color in the submenu, but firstly you need to enable icons in menu by using the following command: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/ButtonImages': <1>, 'Gtk/MenuImages': <1>}" (to revert it, simply use "0" instead of "1" for ButtonImages and MenuImages).

Install Folder Color for Caja, Nemo or Nautilus in Ubuntu or Linux Mint

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costales/folder-color
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install folder-color

• added a plugin manager which allows easily enabling and disabling Nemo actions, extensions and scripts;
• all toolbar buttons now use symbolic icons (except pathbar icons);
• simplified context menus (with an option to show all available actions);
• improved thumbnail generation;
• bookmarks are now sortable;
• improved Preferences dialog;
• fixed support for org.freedesktop.FileManager1 dbus interface - this should allow apps that support opening a folder and highlighting a file in that folder to work properly (like Firefox - clicking on the folder icon from Downloads);
• added a simple transition when toggling the location bar/pathbar;
• show icons for templates in the "create new document" menu;
• show location entry when "/" is entered;
• file operations (such as 'copy') now use a queue system (paused until the previous job completes however, you can manually start new jobs).

• in the Plugin Manager, you'll notice two "Change Desktop Background" Nemo actions - that's because one is for Unity and one for GNOME (Shell) and it's only used if you enable Nemo to draw the desktop;
• the "Create a new launcher here..." Nemo action only shows up in the Nemo context menu on the desktop and it requires gnome-panel to be installed or else it won't work.

Cinnamon 2.6 video

Changes in Cinnamon 2.6 desktop

• the Sound Applet was updated with better PulseAudio support, it detects output devices more accurately and features a slightly revamped UI and a new application mixer (which allows changing the sound level for each app individually);
• a new “inhibit” applet was introduced which allows disabling power management or turning off notifications;
• the User and Network applets were improved slightly revamped UI and a new application mixer (which allows changing the sound level for individual apps).
• The Power Applet was redesigned, it detects batteries better, handles screen brightness and keyboard backlight and it can display secondary devices

• the Effects settings were simplified and some new effects were introduced;
• Power Management, Brightness and Batteries modules were revamped and merged;
• The Startup Applications configuration tool was rewritten as a native Cinnamon settings module;
• various other minor but useful new features were added, such as: you can now set the first day of the week, the size and presence of the multimedia keys OSD, etc.;
• various default settings were tweaked: windows now open in the center of the screen by default, on supported hardware touchpads use two-finger scrolling by default and more.

Other changes

• on supported hardware Cinnamon now uses a newer "cogl" API which should prevent some desktop freezes present in previous Cinnamon releases;
• you can now set which Cinnamon components should use loging/consolekit-upower via gsettings;
• Cinnamon 2.6 introduces a preload mechanism which loads themes and app info asynchronously earlier on during the boot sequence, which should improve loading times;
• improved desktop responsiveness, load times and cpu usage by optimizing various Cinnamon components, such as the menu, window management and more;
• information was added to Looking glass logs to report the Cinnamon startup time as well as to indicate how long each enabled applet took to start;
• you can now restart Cinnamon (cinnamon-settings-daemon and Nemo) using a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + Esc. Unlike Ctrl + Alt + backspace, which restarts the whole session, this only restarts Cinnamon so you won't lose your work and any open windows;
• extensions are now able to provide different versions of themselves for different versions of Cinnamon.
