Feature: Make empty folders blue and access denied system folders red

[Jkapp76]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I have settled on Files as my file manager, but I do miss how some competitor products make empty folders and access denied folders different colors. It's nice to single out empty folders quickly by looking for blue folders.

Requirements

This enhancement would make it easier to identify empty folders as well as locked system folders and possibly others.

Files Version

4.0.20.0

Windows Version

11

Comments

If making new folder icons with additional colors is too system-heavy, you could just hue-adjust the existing folder to be red, blue and so on.

Thank you for your feedback, changing icon colors isn't doable as we use the icons from File Explorer. That said, we are exploring support for auto tagging and changing text colors based on different properties.

If we move forward with any of those proposals, an option to automate based on these attributes could in theory be supported, see #11992 and #14413.

Actually, changing the text color only to either red or blue would be fine too.
