File and Folder Icons

Give your files and folders a look that's easy to spot at a glance.

When every folder looks the same, the ones that matter get lost in the noise. File and Folder Icons lets you assign a custom icon to any file or folder directly from the right-click context menu, so your most-used items stand out instantly.

It works alongside File Organizer's tags and star ratings, layering small overlays right on top of your custom icon or thumbnail - giving you an at-a-glance view of what's tagged, rated, and important without opening a single file.
