Finder labels too subtle? Create garish folder icons instead

Reader Ingrid Sorenson finds some elements of OS X a little too subtle. She writes:</p>

In the past I used to assign labels to folders so that I could more easily find them in long list views and on the desktop. Now that OS X uses colored dots instead of coloring entire folders I have a lot of trouble finding labeled items. Is there anything you can think of that will help my folders stand out?

<p>
Yes. I’d suggest changing the icon on the folders that you want to easily identify. Like so.</p><p>
Wander on over to somewhere like IconArchive (http://www.iconarchive.com/tag/folder) and browse through its collection of icons. Download the ones you’d like to use on your Mac.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2855634/finder-labels-too-subtle-create-garish-folder-icons-instead.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
