You mean the empty state?

A glitch with open folders. The open/selected state icon doesn't get applied to a folder and any of its sub-folders if you create subfolders in it. Gets rectified by a restart, but as soon as another folder is created, it re-occurs.
Confirmed, fix comes.

Yes empty state. Now that you own the icon behavior I thought i'll make this wish.
In fact, i can think of other situations, like cd/dvd icon state (media present or not) or the network computer icon state (accessible or not).

Well, not possible. But the wish showed me the way to a small bug that I could fix. So: thanks. :)

Oh OK, was kind of confident that it would be possible. Especially since XY already has recycle bin stats available to toggle empty vs full state. But well, you know better.
Glad that lead to a bug. :)

Same here. The ugly Windows default icon has been hurting my eyes ever since.

How about the possibility to change the icon for scripts activated from the catalog? :roll:

Hi'
After a few weeks of trials and multiple adjustments, here's the pack that's working best for me.
As I'd said, I didn't like Win7 opened-only folders, so I had made closed versions, then I realized their opened folders didn't respect the default size of their other icons and didn't feel "on par", so I changed them too.
So here comes: 7 folder icons (6 colored + 1 'incoming') in closed and opened states.
- closed states haven't changed much since last post
- opened states are a bit larger, with right and left borders on par with closed states (and other icons), and with tabs more prominent than by default.

- closed states have the Color on their Tab (Folder7_c_CT_Color)
- opened states have the Color inside on the Back (Folder7_o_CB_Color) so it remains visually logical while still noticeable.

Just in case, in the "Extras" folder, there are also opened states with Color on the Tabs, Front, or Full, but they're not all updated cause I didn't feel it was worth it - they lacked the coherence of the "Inside" ones.
