Change the Icon Displayed for a Folder
Customizing the icon of a folder makes it easier to navigate through your filesystem, since you do not depend only on the name of the folder to identify it. In fact, it is usually easier to identify a file or folder by its icon than it is to identify it by its name. Dolphin makes it easy to customize the icon of any folder.
- Right click the folder to change. Select Properties
- Click File Type Options
- In the tab, click the folder icon
- Next to System Icons, select Places from the drop down list. Custom icons may be used by clicking Other and browsing for the icon
- Select the desired icon
- Click OK to accept and set the icon
You may need to logout and login again to see the changes take effect.
