How To Change The Folder Colors On A Mac Computer

Can you change the white font that is under the folder icons?

Way too much work. thanks tho!

Really loved your instructions, mine work on Ventura OS. I was having issues with the copy to clipboard being grayed out I went to the activity monitor and typed PBOARD and selected STOP then QUIT. Thanks a lot

I have Folder Forge from Apple App Store on my old MacBook Pro. Might put this on my new iMac instead.

Thanks,; changing colours of folders can be very helpfull in organizing folders. I wish Apple would make it easier as they did years ago but then dropped it. After all ,it is supposed to be a graphic interface!

Wow Thank You so much!

Brilliant thank you! We were looking for ways to simplify our filing and this is perfect. Thank you for taking to the time to record there - they really do make a difference to us small companies 🙌

For me it doesn’t work when I want to do “New from clipboard” pls help 🙏🏼

Very creative! I used to do this to change icons altogether, but I never considered changing the lighting/color properties of existing icons. Back in the days of classic MacOS, this was a stock color label feature: a color overlay, from a list of about 5-6 colors, could be given to a folder/file of the user's choice. Later, with OSX, a file's being labeled resulted in its text description being encapsulated by the chosen 'lozenge.' (This is the style I prefer.) Ever since Mavericks, labeling a folder involves selecting a respective color of dot that's placed beside the file's description — my least favorite.

I'm sorry but you talk way toooo fast.

Thanks for the walkthrough. But I'm with you. This is WAY too complicated. Apple. Do better.

It work perfectly for me 😊 thanks 👍

Have a question I'm running Big Sur on my 2020 Mac and I noticed the new from clipboard is grayed out I want to know what's going on it... used to work now it's grayed out any suggestions

Thanks for the tip. However, this works only on non-stock folders as am unable to change the stock folder colors like downloads/desktop etc

Thanks for the tip.....
