Yellow Favorites Folders?!

Hey! Who made the nice classy monochrome favourites folders yellow?!! I know this is a bit of a 'who moved my cheese' whine, but the monochrome folders were so much nicer don't you think?

  • Hi ex-jedi, we have received a bunch of feedback that the monochrome icons were too similar, and didn't stand out enough.  We are still taking feedback though.  Let us have it!

    Thanks - Elliot

    Monochrome folders look better. I'm not against yellow folders, but the current icon is kinda ugly.

      The worst thing with yellow folders, is that they are prone to burn in on (at least older) OLED screens.
      I had a LG OLED C8 65" with HTPC connected, yellow folders and after a while several black small squares burned in on the panel.... 

      This is why I use Google Chrome now, with their pretty new monochrome icons/folders.

      After all this time, can we not have a choice of what color each person would like?  I'd prefer the yellow, but there is no option to make it so...

      Letting the user select the folder color seems like a simple solution. Update?

      why not have an option to let the user select the folder color?
