Modify folder colors in interface?

That worked for me, but wasn't what I was going for - however, it did give me some ideas and I figured it out now.

 

So, for anyone else looking to do this, here's where it's controlled.

 

In the theme maintenance, there are two areas where you can import resources, icon resources and custom icons.  The icon resources field controls the folders.

 

So, to get a MUCH better starting point for E10, I exported the default theme of Inspired, then created a new theme of a custom name, then imported the Inspired.isl.  Then from the actions menu Import Icon Resources and select "SysBaseImages_Classic" and wella, you get back all the colored folders embedded with the default E10 color scheme.

 

That already looks much better to people here, so I'm going to tweak it a bit further and separate the colors for our test and live environments further.

We're migrating to E10 and using the classic shell look (looks like E9).  The only problem is the new styles in E10 are pretty unpopular with our employees across the board.  I've had success changing every aspect we wanted changed except the folder colors. 

 

In E9 they were a yellow color, in E10 they're either white or a silver that's nearly a white.  I've gone through the runtime styler and the underlying .isl files looking for any color specs, can't see anything.

 

Anyone done this before and know where this is specified?

A few years back I put in an enhancement request for an Edie Bauer edition of Epicor, but I haven’t heard anything on that yet…

I can't say this really works, as I haven't "tested" it, but when I took the ISL file I'd created for E9 (and is working great on E9) and copied it over to my test E10 environment, added it and made it default, the folders automagically all turned yellow. It's actually quite a nice contrast, and all the other icons got their colors back too.


Again, I've only done this once, but it is sure something to try!
