Color coding one specifc folder
« on: June 08, 2016, 17:47:08 »
Is it possible to change the color of a folder name?


For example, if I have a folder named "My Special Folder" could I change the font, or background color, of the name of that single folder in the folder tree without affecting any other folders?

Is it possible to show, for example, a folder tree like this -

...
Folder 1
Folder 2
My Special folder
Folder 3
Folder 4
...
Now using Win 10.
Used 'em all from DOS 2.0 onwards.

You got file coloring under the color wheel on the toolbar
You can modify the default or create own color profiles
There you can define a rule that will match only that path item and then you can set textcolor, backgroundcolor, font style (but not fontname and size)

Here is an example you can use.
If you click on step 1 - 3 as the attached image shows, you can make a rule that fits your preferences.

Ahh correct. I missed that part..   

The FolderTree panel do not currently support coloring. But if you want color in the normal list panel you can do as shown above.
