Thanks Artur. I revisited this section and could replicate what you stated.
When I placed the cursor above a folder as you describe I was able to see the pop up giving the two options and found that I could colour the folder as a single folder. It appears that I have possibly miss-understood the documentation as what I was attempting to do was to add colour to sub folders. I had opened /home /ian and it was the individual folders within ian that I had hoped to change rather than the background for home / ian. Was I expecting too much by wanting to take it down it /home / ian / accounts level? I hope this is clear to you and you can advise further on this Many thanks Ian > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Artur Szymanski" <art...@wp.pl> > To: ian.mcni...@operamail.com > Subject: [Bug 371935] Re: documentation Section 6.8.5 – Changing Backgrounds. > Date: Wed, 06 May 2009 20:55:31 -0000 > > > Ian, > > I've followed the instruction and was able to change background of > my folders as described in documentation.
