Changing folder appearance in Mosaic & "headpiece" mode

Help & Support
1

I was wondering if there's a way to change the folder appearance in Mosaic & "headpice" (I guess it's not the same word used in english for DOpus, but i'm not sure which one is used).

To be totally honest, I'm not sure what to use as the image or icon to use for that, but at least changing the color of these folders.... Windows yellow folders makes me sick :wink:
I changed the default folder appearance to something more in my taste and not that "flashy", but yellow remains in those two different wide appearance modes!

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Not possible at the moment, except by putting a Coverart.jpg into the folder to force it to get a CD-case thumbnail border instead of the yellow-folder border (but I doubt that's what you want either :slight_smile:)

hehe, nope! (even if it's nice to display this for music folders... nice idea though)

So I'll try to avoid these modes the most I can :slight_smile: (but it will be hard when i'm on video or images folders)... I hope it won't make me puke (I'd hoped DOpus would have a trick to handle my bowels hehe :slight_smile:)

You can turn off folder thumbnails if you want. Then you just get icons for them (should be whichever icon you've got as the default for folders).

That's done through Preferences -> Lister Display Modes -> Thumbnails Mode.

(The same setting also affects folder thumbnails in Tiles mode.)

Thanks leo, this is fine like that I guess!
I changed that option and I will see with time if it suits me!

Just a question about these two modes... when an icon is displayed other than a preview, the icon seems to be 32x32 even if they could be bigger (as the sizes in the preferences for both Mosaic & Tiles could allow at least the icons to be 48x48).
Is it because of the windows default icon size, or is there a trick to make them a little bigger in these two modes? (but I wouldn't want them to be bigger when in icons mode, they suits me fine the size they have in this mode)

It's the windows default icon size. Support for bigger icons in thumbnails mode is on the to-do list, just hasn't made it to the top yet. :slight_smile:
