Revision history [back]

I think, it would be nice, if a folder would show the icon of the first app in this folder, that represents the folder's contents. So it would be much clearer, what the folder is for and we don't need to read the name of the folder to know, what is inside.

For example, we could use the icon of Tweetian or Facebook for a folder named "Social".

Maybe there could be rendered a little folder icon on top of the App's icon to clarify that this is a folder.

According to comments and some thoughts about that, here are my new suggestions to this topic:

• Add more (generic) icons, we could choose from (see system icons that comes with every installation of Windows/KDE/...) ==> @Larswad
• Allow to use an icon, provided by an App that this folder contains (maybe with fallback to another or generic icon, when this App is removed from this folder)
• Allow to show / hide a counter, that indicates how many apps a folder contains (for them, who need it) ==> @KRM
