I am a fan of colored file types, so thank you for letting me/us know! o)
Associated icons and they appearance, they come and go and change constantly. Icons don't really help much to differentiate file types and groups of files. Files being colored resolves this and directories load noticeably faster as well! o)
If you stick to the same colouring in every application or OS, it really gives a coherent experience, whether you are in DO, Everything or even a linux terminal. No need for icons at all, we also had no icons in the file display on the amiga, it was not a problem! o)
Without colouring, like in the regular Windows Explorer, it just looks really odd and the icons.. Kind of useless, it all blends together into some, I don't know how to call it, maybe "file and folder wishy washy".. o)
