I hope PG Music makes this available as a simple option to choose gray or colored icons.

Maybe a PGMusic tutorial on how we all can customize as desired.
Apparently this feature is available, many just don't know about it.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, I have tinkered with this aspect also (in RB way more than BiaB) and think it would be pretty easy to implement .. so why not?
We have 'User Tracks' but not 'User Skins' .. seems kinda like a no-brainer to me considering the frequent GUI/look/feel requests of many users. I'd rather have the ability to make it look like I want than the ability to create User Tracks for others. Selfish (maybe), but really this should not be that difficult to implement ..

/make it look cool (to you) and share with others (Skins)
//others may like it and use it; win/win for PGMusic, if not, no loss (no harm no foul)
/// profit

//// I just wanted to see to four slashies


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Yes, it just needs an option to set what folders to use.
These are the folders the Compact Screen Mode are in below, the Normal Screen Mode uses the icons in the BIG folders.

Dan, good observation. I think you are likely correct.

I hope these color options get added to the program in a menu. Hacks tend to get overwritten by new versions.

Matt I moved this to a separate thread since I am really interested in the fact that over all this time only two users have gone in to hack the workings of BIAB - both bringing some neat features.

Colors like blue, green, red, purple etc can be a big problem for those of us that are partially color blind.

Noticed today I lost my "colored icons". Must of happened with one of the recent updates. Hate to have to take the time to find the files which needed to be replaced and renamed to get it back the way it was.

I guess it will just continue to sit in the wish list. crazy
