What happens when you go into System Settings, select Appearance then click the Icons tab? Or have you not even looked?

What I mean is to have a different color for a certain folder. This feature available in nemo file manager, and I think caja as well. I use xfce and I wish this feature was available in thunar as well. I know how to change the color theme but I am talking about individual colors for different folder. But I think emblems could be a substitute. I wish the developers add this feature though.

Hi fadi,

You can do this as described in my tutorial: "LM 20 xfce custom folder icons in thunar"

Instead of picture-icons per folder, you could also use simple colored folder icons.
