Features

Rainbow Folders has few interesting features that are worth mentioning:

- allows you to change folder color to any color, new folder icon is generated in real time each time you are colorizing a folder so it looks good in each of these sizes: 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 pixels,

- there are three icon styles supported: Classical (as in e.g. Windows 95), Typical (as in e.g. Windows XP) and Modern (as in Windows Vista), for each of those styles you can also choose alternative version,

- colorized folders are visible in whole system, also colorizing folders is safe because it's exactly same method as used by the system to modify various system folders (e.g. Favorites) icons, plus the program doesn't need to run all the time in background for the changed icons to be visible,

- you can add custom tooltip text visible after hovering mouse over folder for few seconds, also it is possible to add warning message protecting from accidental folder delete,

- you can create and manage favorite color list,

- folders can be colorized using additional item found in the Explorer context menu,

- works with almost all versions of Windows such as: 98, 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista,

- doesn't require installation, doesn't leave any trash in Registry, it's much smaller than 1 MB - so it's fully portable,

- it's free (see License).
