Artur once again many thanks for your reply. What I had hoped for was that my home folder consists of 1 main folder ian. That is sub-divided into four separate folders. In addition there is a fifth folder which is in its self sub-divided into three further categories.
It is the sub-divided folder that I had hoped to colour code. I wanted particularly to colour each individual sub-divided folder particularly in the fifth folder. I don't particularly want to offer a screen shot on an open forum as such but if it would assist you I am prepared to do so if it is of assistance in clarifying what I am seeking. It is colouring the folder rather than the background of the folder ian. Is this possible ?
