Server: Color for each icon folder

Hello.
I think you should add option to change icon color for each folder. This is really great function to recognize folders.

Marking Folders is important. But this is something you could do with Tags ... but colorizing would not make any sense in my opinion, becsuse it would be synced to the clients (Windows, ...) without an large implementation.

Maybe we could do something similar to macOS Tags ... but the folder-colour should stay ;)

@nextcloud/designers But what do you think 🤔

Agreed with MariusBluem. Don't really like the idea of colors.
What we can do is link a tag to a color and apply it. I could agree with that.

Additionally, relying on color for marking as a main feature will not work for people with visual impairment like color blindness. Right now you can use favorites, which clearly differentiates important folders and makes them easily recognizable and filterable.

I don't know.. Maybe you're right and this idea is bad solution for marking folders. I'm using Google Drive from many years and i used to those colors, because i can fast recognize folders. Now I'm using Nextcloud on two servers and I'm really grateful for this script :)

[MariusBluem]

@jancborchardt from this accessibility point of view - closing this feature request here 😉 We should keep Nextcloud as easy to use as possible for everybody ♿️ ...

Well I kinda liked the idea of assigning a color to a tag now! 😈

[jancborchardt]

@skjnldsv ideally especially when syncing tags with the desktop, colors should be preserved. I think @nickvergessen had some script or PR some time ago for that. (Especially for macOS this makes sense where colored tags are used by default.) However keep in mind that tagging is not something the majority of people use.

I would love to have support for tagging in macOS.
