Snow Leopard Folder Colors by ekliptikz

WooHoo I've got colour back ! Thanks Guys, super good Karma

Beautiful folder icons! And you chose such appropriate names! Great! Can't wait to use some.
I've found it is harder to change folder icons in OS X El Capitan. It used to be so easy!
I used to use FolderBrander, but I now have to load icons one by one into FolderBrander. I don't know why I can't just select to import all icons in a folder.
Should I use .icns or .png for OS X. I know, I'm a complete newb about this. Sorry.
Thanks anyway!

Thanks these are just perfect and such a great colour range.  Regards Indigo

I'm having the same issue as virusgal. I changed the color of all the folders on my desktop successfully, but when I try to change any again, the new color only appears in the Get Info window.

I am using El Capitan.  When I change the color of a folder on my desktop, it appears correctly in the Finder "get info" but remains the original color on the desktop.  What am I doing wrong here?  Worked perfectly before I upgraded to El Capitan!

Jeepers, this is terrific!  I was going nuts with those silly little dots.  Thank you very, very much.

Lovely job! Thank you

Thanks so much to "ekliptikz" for all of these great folder colors!! You have provided a GREAT range of colors. Wow!!

For those who aren't sure how to use these great files, here are the steps:
1. Find the folder you want to change the color of, select it and "Get Info" from right clicking on it. 
Notice that at the top of the Get Info window, there is a small view of the icon for the folder. This image can be modified. The next steps are to make that happen.
2. From the downloaded set from this site, open (i.e., double-click) one of the folders of files, based upon the color you want to make your folder (e.g., Maraschino), and see the option of files within it. 
3. You want to use the file with the .icns extension.
4. Drag the file with the .icns extension and drop it onto the folder icon image at the top in the Get Info window for the folder you selected in Step 1. You should see a + appear when you are over the icon image, and when you let go, the icon changes to the one you selected from Step 3.

nvm

how do you download?

Got it! For newbie idiots like me, the .zip file in question is over at the right in a "Download" bar.

These are excellent!  I'm on Yosemite, but I'm gonna be a rebel and use these anyway.

Thank you!

thx

Oh, never mind!  Just figured it out!  Works great! Thanks!

I wish I could get these to work in Yosemite.  I am not sure how to make the transition from the existing folder that i have on the desktop and the color folders that you have in Snow Leopard.  I try to follow your instructions but nothing happens. 

These are perfect, exactly what I needed to match my Google Drive folder colors!

Thank you so much for these colored folder icons.  Just what I've been looking for, and I'm putting them to good use.  Really appreciate your sharing this with us!

I love these colored folder and would like to use them, but when I right click I do not see "get Info" or any pop-up window. Can you help me? Thanks

Oh these are amazing! Thanks so much! And these will act just like regular folders right? They won't corrupt anything will they?

Great stuff !

This is wonderful! Thank you so much!

Works well. Thank you so much for these.

Great set... I use Folder Brander and these are perfect for color coding my folders! Thanks so much for making them available for downloading!!!

And if they're in .icn,

Could you please port them to .png?
