I hope there will be a universal binary Leopard upgrade!

But if you are looking for a way to just customize folders, and label them with your application icon, quickly and easily, with a minimum of fuss - all for free or a donation, with a proven stable product, and all from a contextual menu on the fly; I still prefer Viou.
If you are considering Folder Icon X, I would recommend you also take a peek at Viou and make an informed decision between them.

Viou is not fully compatible with Intel machines, and doesn't look like it will be soon.

I don't profess to have any inside information or knowledge about their plans, but given the size of the development group and the fact their website generally indicates that this is not their full time profession; along with current work on other projects, it does not suprise me that their are long periods between releases. Frankly it speaks well of their code given that it is solid enought to survive an major OS upgrade without needing change.
However given the introduction of a processor change and the Autumn release of Leapard, I personally would not be suprised to see an update release for Viou by the next MacWorld. As I intimated, it is only a 'gut' feeling but Viou is currently an actively distributed product, and does its job very well for those that can use it on their PPC machines.

Oof. My little comment was meant as a matter of info for people passing by.
I didn't think it worth a response.
It's just seldom that a small scale software project goes 3 years before an upgrade if it's under active development, especially through both OS and processor changes.
I had also noticed web site info doesn't extend beyond 2005 and talks mostly about Panther, with tiger only getting a mention or two.
Some pages still show things released in 2004 designated as "New".
I wasn't putting down the software. While Viou is impressive in some ways, it just never suited me as well as Folder Icon X, but FIX has some irritants which have persisted through several updates while other aspects improved.
I became interested in exploring Viou more fully right about the time i got my Mac Pro and found the Contextual menu no longer functional - an important aspect.
I don't find any icon tools entirely satisfactory and i'd like to see Viou return.

After contacting the developer, through his website, I have received an extremely prompt, courteous and informative reply indicating that Viou is still very much alive and well. In fact it is undergoing future development, and has an anticipated release date sometime after Leopard comes out and will be fully compatible with Intel Mac's. As to why it is taking so long, the developer confirmed that much of my conjecture in my previous comments was fairly accurate.
Viou is most certainly not dead.

Altered perspective icons aren't antialiased.
--- Wishes ---
Badly needs to scale graphics pasted as one of the icons.
Still no way to merge more than 2 icons without saving and loading the saved one as "folder icon".
Would be nice to be able to create the dropping variant instead of having to create and save it first, create the normal one, and then add the dropping variant.
Would be great to be able to turn the "Show Rectangular Frame" pref on and off from the UI.
Needs a way to add a few letters of text.
Viou has it's uses.

Features just keep getting better without the interface getting bigger and more cluttered (though some things could be included).
Very few problems with it ever and i use it a lot!
Keep it up!

Some of the operations work in strange ways. Could be slicker without becoming a monstrosity like viou

For whatever reason, recently (perhap 10.4.9 update?) i'm seeing a malfunction when exporting as pictures from the contextual menu.
The 'Preview' pict is okay.
The 'Mask' pict is okay.
The 'Icon' pict is often the graphic for an entirely different icon.
Usually it's a microslough office icon.
