[release] Icolorfolder V0.3

iColorFolder is a little Open-Source app which allows you to change the color of your folder with only a right-clic. Actually, it basically simulates the Color Label feature of Macs. It is fast (written in C++, and doesn't stay in memory), now skinnable and provided with an OS X skin and a XP skin by Binary.

The soft is available in both French and English (in the same package, see the ReadMe or LisezMoi file).

Here is a little preview :

Sorry, my FTP was corrupted for a while, it works just fine now.

Have fun !

From what I see in the screenshot, it just creates a "color symbol" on the folder, its nice and something to begin with

#150263

oh yes, it's only a little colored circle, and not the full folder icon which is colored, but it's just because I haven't any full-colored icons...

If someone want to send me them, I just have then to rebuild the resources. :moon:

#150265

how are these?

#150269

Great app! Really great!

One thing: I think it should be "themes supported"

#150295

Thx a lot, I've updated the first post. It looks nicer now.

#150300

why is the icons so low quality??

#150304

... and it's 0,5 Mb now.

#150309

dont think he used 128 , 96 seems to be the highest

#150310

I changed the icons to recoloured XP folders:

The app works great, thanks alot!

Maybe you could add 'skin' support? so that we could pick our own icons, or sets others have made

I used Magbi9,s png,s and made new icons with larger sizes and it looks good now great job people...thank you

#150321

Yes, I've reduced the maximum size of each icon, to spare some space and increase speed (does it ?). But I can set icons again to 128 if someone use it This will corrected in 1/2 h

And I could make the app skinnable, yes. I suppose an ini file and some specifics folders could do the job, I'll work on it.

That's it ! I've upated the file with 128*128 icons, and added an uninstaller too.

It'd be great if we could both pick the icons and set the text labels for the contextmenu, then the app becomes a bit more than just colour labels . Also, is there any way to make folders have a specific overlay like the shortcut overlay? That would be wicked if you could add say a 'burn' overlay icon on a folder meaning that the folder had files to be burned and whatnot. Just suggestions

And would it be possible to make it work with multiple folder selections?

Great suggestions there, Binary

#150383

This **** is off the hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

I love it. This is WAY closer than I got to the color label mock up.

This goes on my list of the must do everytime I reinstall Windows.

This amp really tricks Windows. Just look at the pick below.

It even colors the icon when viewed in Properties.

This is color then a color label behind the icon text. Try color icons Mac users! :6

#150391

well, pathfinder (a mac finder app) does this exact thing.. so mac users can do it!!

#150392

Thank you very much, it works flawlessly! Very nice app, great addition

#150402

I agree with Binary "It'd be great if we could both pick the icons and set the text labels for the contextmenu, then the app becomes a bit more than just colour labels"

Anyway it does not appear to work for me???

Is it because my windows directory is located on D (d:\windows\system 32) and not the defualt C? (If anyone know?)

Anyway, keep up the development on this kemenaran and it looks like a fabulous program

#150421

what a wonderful app you have done dude !! i really like it !

Cooool !!! :rock:

#150454

i am amazed how easy this is to work. it took me a minet to have almost every main folder customized.

very nice work. cant wait to see V1.0

#150458

excellent. simple. beautifull. lots of potential.

A+.

:woot:

#150469

now the finders developers here should either integrate this to their right clicks options or use the normal windows rigth click......

IMHO
