Folder icons

Post by ellos »

Hi, when XNview MP starts scanning folders on local or external disks, it first shows cool-looking icons and then for some reason makes them all yellow, see the screenshot URL.

It looks likes 'recoloring' is done intentionally by the program, but I really would like to stay with the blue ones. They are more Mac-looking, while the yellow ones... look just a clone from windows, which doesn't look great.

Please don't get me wrong, I totally enjoy XNView, but I yellow folders look a bit... archaic.
Is there anyway to configure XNView to use the folders without changing them to yellow? The default ones on the screenshot look pretty cool.



Thank you.
