As it's nice and I already blog about it where should I store this feature? cheers Andreas The feature is really nice, but it needs its own colors in System Settings > Colors. I would really like if it will be possible to add more "system" colors so also the mime-types icons could be customized: Breeze currently has a set of colors used for mime-types icons but the distro/user could like to set a different "green", a different "red" etc. Something like: Folders color: #012abc Blue: #49ccc1 Light green: #... ... So for example a color theme could set less vibrant colors for folders and mimetypes, that it's the main complain about Breeze icons. Anyway I currently don't experience any issue and the colored folders look like a big improvement for my setup. Important note, Andreas: the new folders icons haven't the light gradients, so now they look flat, but Breeze is not flat. If the colored-folders feature will be kept, it would be better to add the light. -- Alessandro Longo

Re: stylesheed folders
What does the window decoration have in common with a folder? This is my screenshot: https://share.kde.org/index.php/s/l1eQjahyNee0sbO Cheers, Ivan
Re: stylesheed folders
the contrast shouldn't be the problem cause I'd like to use the select background color (already done) and the select text color (not selected now) sebas screenshot. look the same at my desktop. it would be a bug that was shown with the stylesheed stuff. Yes it is something like cause we can, but also the design of the desktop is cleaner (without some bugs), cause the window decoration, the plasma theme task manager, the select something in dolphin the dolphin folder icons all have the same color. about colored icons, with the breeze folder icons you didn't see that much difference between folder icon and blue folder icon also the difference to folder cyan isn't that big. I'm not sure if I sould add or remove this feature cause on one hand it is very nice to have a consistent desktop and on the other hand it's something new where we don't ask the user and where some bugs need to be fixed. cheers Andreas
Re: stylesheed folders
+1 (for sebas' comment, not for the rainbow folders) I don't mind the idea of being able to customize folder colours, but I don't think that it should be done like this - we do not have the 'folder colour' settings in the colour scheme settings, which means that some other colour will be used to do this (bad idea!). We have had more than a few problems in plasma theming that came from "we can use this element for something completely irrelevant, because it looks pretty with the default theme". Cheers, Ivan p.s. The message with the screenshot of what it looks like for me is waiting for moderator approval.

Also, folders with overlay previous look weirdly out of place now, see attached screenshot. (This could be a caching issue?) -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org

For at least three of the 7 colors you give as example in your blog, the contrast is actually reduced, so they're harder to recognize. The lowest row with the grey overlay looks actually broken to me. For folders, I don't see a real usecase other than "because we can". Am I missing something? Did you test this with app-specific color schemes? This I assume is only for the default folders, but what about the folder icons that are already colored? If I'm using a green folder, and then change the highlight color to something green, the contrast between the green and normal folders is lost. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org
