    How do I create icon sets/themes for user folders?


    I'm trying to change some icons. I know some software allowing to apply icon packs (Stardock, tuneup utilities) but they only change system folders and file types. What I want is to be able to change specific folder icons.

    For example in my User folder I have some subfolders (backups, projects, icons etc). I want something that allows me to change all of those folder icons together and save them as a theme so I can apply different icon themes when I want to.

    Welcome to the Seven Forums
    Changing individual folder icons in some kind of theme pack I do not think it is possible. You may want to look at Rainbow Folder here Programy Aionela (English Version) - Free software for everyone ! where you can change the individual folder color but you will lose thumbnail previews and large folder view.
