Folder Color: Easily Change Folder Icon Colors In Nautilus or Nemo
Folder Color is a Nautilus extension that allows you to easily change the folder icon color to some predefined colors such as blue, pink, black, yellow, violet, orange, green, grey or red. With a small tweak, the extension also works with Nemo file manager.
Its purpose is not to create new icon themes - the tool is useful for easily spotting a folder. For instance, you can change some important folder icon color, organize your music folders by using different colors for various artists, organize your documents folders and so on.
Note that Folder Icon only works with the default Ubuntu icon theme.
To use the extension, simply right click any folder in Nautilus (or Nemo, see below) and select "Folder Color" from the context menu, then select the color you want to use for that folder icon:
 |
| Folder Color - Nautilus |
 |
| Folder Color - Nemo |
As you can see from the screenshots above, you can easily revert the folder icon to default by selecting "Restore to Default".
Update: Folder Color 0.0.9 was released and includes scalable icons, emblems for the default folders and also, the light blue folder color was removed and two colors were added: brown and cyan.
