DESCRIPTION
FolderBrander... Mac OS X lets you add folders to the Finder's sidebar, or the right side of the Dock. This excellent feature provides quick access to frequently used folders. This is great except ... all folders look the same.

FolderBrander lets you easily change the look of your folders - pick a different color and add a short text label.

Found some nice folder icons on the web? Add them to FolderBrander's custom icon set (just drop them in there), and setting folder icon becomes easier than ever.

    BRUCE_Y  A useful and easy to use tool for adding unique identification to folder icons.

    For me, I use it to add a short one or two line text label to the folder, which then makes it very easy for me to see which folder is which (since many of my views are intentionally Icon view).

    Thus, the icon text labelling is the main benefit I use, and that capability is not in Finder (contrary to some posters who say this app is same as built in Finder).

    BTW, cost is $9.95, not the 11.95 reported on MU. Also, their site states latest version 2.1.x now requires Tiger. They have a version (2.0.2) for Panther linked at their site.  (Version 2.1.1)

    SSKROBON  As much as I like Yellow Mug Software titles, I cannot find $12 justifiable for this app. Beautiful Mac OS X icons can be easily found on Apple's Downloads site, and creating new folders and substituting default folder's icon is just thru Get info command (single-tab goes to icon, double-tab to comments).  (Version 2.1)

    MUSICLC  Great little app - allows me to quickly distinguish different folders without spending a lot of time on custom icons.

    Wish list - more included (base icon) folder choices in future releases.  (Version 2.0.1)

    ANONYMOUS  The one feature this app doesn't have is the one I would really love to see, which is the ability to make the folder icons in the side bar larger - Any chance of this in an upcoming version?   (Version 1.3.7)
