Speaking of coloring group icons: if you set the Labels preference to Classic, and add a label to a group, it is supposed to color the group icon. However, the colors are unpredictable. For example, I have these colors set:
And these four groups should be (in order) labeled: red, green, blue, and yellow:
The label colors essentially act like they’re in Multiply mode on the underlying icon. @cgrunenberg would have to do something like setting the icon to greyscale and a lower tint, like 10%, or use a white icon to get the full color of the label. However, that would be for him to assess and decide.
Many thanks for taking the time to create these coloured icons, much appreciated. Is it possible to get the default blue group icon - visible in the inspector - to also show in the sidebar by default, rather than the grey version?
Only if you customize a new folder icon (as blue) and change it the Inspector. I included a new icon in my collection (same download link: http://pc.cd/dq9) that mimics it.
I came across this feature by coincidence reviewing one of the youtube videos of devonthink where the guy had all his icons neatly organised. (but did not know I can actually change the higher-level icons of the databases themselves > thanks for sharing this:)
That is what I ended up with after that (best thing - this does work in DTTG as well):
Hi all, thanks for sharing.
any one know if there is a way to increase icon size in sidebar?
these does not scale with Preferences->General->Appearance->Sidebar Text Size, as one could be expect.
