What if you copy a folder to a USB drive? Will the folder colors be retained? No, and yes. Folder Painter does not have to be running in the background for the folder colors to work. To delete a menu, select it from the program's interface and click the "Remove Selected Menu". To revert to the original icon, use the same steps, but this time select "Use default folder icon" and it will restore Windows' default icon for the folder. Select the icon that you wish to use, and you're good to go.

Right-click on a folder, select the menu that you created using Folder Painter.

How to change the color of a folder using Folder Painter? The context menu can be used to quickly open Folder Painter, if it's not running. Hold shift and right-click on a folder to view the "change icon" menu. Try right-clicking on a folder, you won't see the new context menu options. You will need to enable the option for each icon pack that you have selected. Enable the option that's labeled "Use Shift Key to Display Context Menu". The context menu can quickly become cluttered this way, but there's a fix for this as well.

So, from what I can tell this app does one thing, and appears to do it ok. I did hope that was what the 'customize' icon on the toolbar was for, but that just lets you customize the toolbar itself. Also there doesn't appear to be any way to edit/modify the icons, which many of the icon-changing apps allow you to do. I did try dragging a few png images into the custom section, but for some reason FIC didn't arrange them at all and they disappeared when I quit the app and relaunched it (maybe that's another trial limitation?). There is a short video (no audio) on the website, but it only covers the basic function and not how to add your own custom icons. The help also seems to be sadly lacking, so I wasn't able to explore how the 'custom' categories work. My major problem is that the app allowed me to assign a custom icon just 3 times before telling me my trial was over!! Not really sufficient time to see how useful it would really be, how stable it is, what features it might have, etc. (I'm assuming they're royalty free images from around the web as I've seen some of them before elsewhere). Many of the bundled icons weren't to my liking, but that's purely down to individual taste. Drag the folder(s) you want to change onto the app, double-click the icon you want to use, job done. The interface isn't particularly elegant, but it's functional & gets the job done. Ok, if you want a quick way to assign a custom icon to a single, or multiple folders at once, and you're happy with the bundled icons, then this app does that. Is the app really this good? I work a lot with icons so I had to download it to see for myself. Whenever I see an app get three 5-star reviews in quick succession from people who have only just joined MacUpdate and who have only reviewed the app in question, and who only use a one-liner basically saying "this app is great", I get interested.
