Is there a way to have a folder label color visible when the folder is moved to the Desktop? Either by changing the color of the folder icon label, or perhaps by modifying the icon background color to match the label color?
Likewise for files.
Supplementary request: allow file Set Label option to be accessed when right-clicking on desktop icons.
Thanks for any and all help!
If you mean the Windows Desktop, outside of Opus and behind all other windows, that is part of Windows and not Opus. We have no influence on how it displays things.
Fair enough. Thank you for the prompt response. I'm far from a power Opus user, so was not sure if you had any control over the Windows Desktop appearance.
Presumably you could still make Set Label available via right-click though?
Also, not trying to be a smartass, but is there any other kind of Desktop that Opus is able to control? I would dearly like to be able to select a Windows Desktop-like "Icon View" for other folders, where I could position icons at arbitrary locations, and where Opus would remember these positions. Is there any way to accomplsh this using Opus?
Thanks again, and please forgive me for highjacking my own thread!
We could, but it would take a lot of effort to get the dynamic label list there, and selecting them wouldn't do anything to the Desktop, so it'd be a bit weird, I think.
We don't have any plans to make Opus replace the whole Windows shell (Desktop, Taskbar, etc.); only File Explorer.
But Windows File Explorer did used to implement an Icon View that allowed persistent icon positions to be saved within any folder. I certainly remember using it. So perhaps wishing that Opus would re-add support for this feature wouldn't require the replacement of the whole Windows shell?
This feature is something that I would personally make use of - I find the ability to spacially organize icons within folders, a la Desktop, to be extremely useful.
We can't change how the Desktop or other parts of the Windows shell display things, because that isn't our code.
