Folder Color

[JDog37]

If I use the create a folder, can I pick a color for the folder I created, (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)...

Say the user wants to create a folder but wants to choose a color for that folder, how would I do that??

Other people helped me with this code Thanks to all!! :

local sBaseFolder = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Select a Directory for storing your data.", _DesktopFolder);
local sFolderName = Input.GetText("Input1")

if sBaseFolder ~= "CANCEL" and sFolderName ~= "" then
	MainFolder = sBaseFolder.."\\"..sFolderName
	Folder.Create(MainFolder)
	
	local msgsubfolders = ""
	
	for n = 1, 6 do
		if CheckBox.GetChecked("CheckBox"..n) then
			local SubFolder = MainFolder.."\\"..CheckBox.GetText("CheckBox"..n)
			Folder.Create(SubFolder)
			msgsubfolders = msgsubfolders..SubFolder.."\r\n\t"
		end
	end
	
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your Main WorkField Has Now Been Created.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Now all I need is the colored folders!! Like a color coding system..

Thank you guys and have a great weekend!

It isn't possible Change Folders Color.
You can Change Foldr ICon With a Icon similar a colored Folder.
for this:
1- Make a INI file with this name (Desktop.ini) to the your folder.
2- Insert This code th the Desktop.INI and save it.
code:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%icon%
%icon% is full path for your icon.
3- Set system and hidden attribute for desktop.ini
4- Set system attribute for your folder

I made a small icon library (FolderColors.zip) for u. It contains 5 different colors of 48x48px and true color each. U can create more icon sizes, resolutions and colors using an image editor and microangelo. The zip file contains the icon library and a desktop.ini file that will show you how to set a different color for each folder:

IconIndex=1 (Normal yellow color)
IconIndex=2 (Green color)
IconIndex=3 (Blue color)
IconIndex=4 (Red color)
IconIndex=5 (Purple color)

For example:

IconFile=.\FolderColorIcons.icl
IconIndex=4

So u only have to drop the icon library and the desktop.ini file into desired folder changing the icon index of your preference. Or you can only drop the selected icon file (of the Individual icons.rar file) into the desired folder and set the IconIndex to 0. For example:

IconFile=.\2.ico
IconIndex=0
