I use Folder Colorizer as it allows for many options about the folder cover.

Mr Campbell Rocks has an easier to understand step by step to doing this. Once I watched that video, I could change all my colors in less than a minute.

Thank you so much! A big help!

[@jondeanedits]

In classic Macintosh OS it was just so easy .... about time Apple made it as easy in 2024 as it was in 1994

[@stantonclark]

Is there a way you can change it for every folder at once? (e.g. make a new colour the default instead of blue)

[@nicfarrow]

It works! Excellent!

[@MyMacTalk]

Thanks

[@unleashthedog]

I imagined you were going to replace the icon, but from a downloadable set. Like windows where you can change icons. Does that work as well?

[@garycard1826]

Great Thanks!

[@rruni9828]

THANK YOU for showing up how to do this. I HATE the default blue from Apple

[@MyMacTalk]

Thanks for the comment

[@gruv2nz]

I got it to work by selecting the second folder #2 in preview.

[@MyMacTalk]

Nice

[@ZeerakImran]

[@MyMacTalk]

Thank you! Cheers!

Didn't work for me once I got to tools everything was grey and I couldn't do anything. Under tools, tab the only choice was annotate or show inspector. Darn! I have ventura.

[@daichi-gadgets]

Same here. I couldn't figure out why so I resorted to grabbing some images from a website called 'icons8' and dragging and dropping those images onto the place where he copied the original icon from.

[@clauguzman7198]

I was able to do it to two of my folders but but after the New From Clipboard option is greyed out >_<
Why? :(

[@myster8769]

same i just tried it seconds ago it doesn't work anymore

[@maryamseddik861]

for some reason the new from clipboard option is grey for me? even though i did this before and changed my icons to grey but it wont work again is it a new ios thing?

[@algheroman6476]

Clipboard won't copy the icon under Sonoma (Greyed out). Anyone have a fix for that?

[@TheCoolProfessor]

Does not work because the folder won't copy from the thumbnail icon and preview will not open.

[@TurtleSB]

Why Apple gotta make it so dang complicated

[@MyMacTalk]

Just Apple being Apple

[@DoofusPics]

Do you wanna know a trick that is way more simple and way more fun?
Copy and paste a sticker from your phone to a folder icon.
All of my folder icons are stickers from photos I taken. It’s rad

[@ffmedic1638]

I have tried, but cannot seem to make colors such as yellow or red, This seems somewhat limited.

[@janastyles5942]

yes im trying to get but i cant. i thought this video would have the trick for that cuz it had a red folder in the thumbnail

[@MyMacTalk]

Try this: ruclips.net/video/QfMHTM-CPV0/видео.html

[@agentpolarbear3605]

MUITO BOM

[@nivid01]

I would rather slash my wrists than go to all that trouble!

[@JayAndEleinne]

When I click "New from clipboard" it just opens the last Adobe project I was working on.

[@marlakay226]

I could not understand the presenter.

[@rruni9828]

He has PERFECT English

[@MyMacTalk]

Apologies, how may I help. Thanks @rruni9828

[@TheVeganHere]

Sure he has an accent but I can understand him perfectly.
