Hi there,

Is there a way to set a custom icon for folders that are in groups? I cant seem to find a way to do it, so I'm wondering if it is possible to do. Thanks!

Just to add, I am using the Fluent icon pack, if it helps

What do you mean with "Fluent icon pack"? 
OC can use either Windows Default under Folder icons or you can use custom ones. 
In \Resources\FolderIcons you will see two folders and png files in there. If you have some other icons as png files, you can create another folder there with any name (example "MyIcons") and put icons there. Icons should be called the same name as folders, case sensitive, so Music.png will replace folder "Music" but not "music". If you add folder called "asdf" in sidebar, and you have "asdf.png" it will be loaded. If you prepare your own icons, it is best to keep them small, 32x32px.
Then you can open settings and in Folder Icons folder select the "MyIcons" folder, or however you have called it, then close settings and restart the program

Thanks for replying,

I have made an Icon folder called CustomIcons in Resources > FolderIcons and placed my icons as png files in the folder, but it isn't appearing in the list. The only options are Dark, Light, and Windows Default. Any ideas?

Did you close and reopen the settings window? It wont have the image unless you also make "Thumbnail.png" and will only show as "CustomIcons" text. If it still doesn't appear, are you using portable version or ClickOnce installed version?

Still hasn't appeared after closing and opening the settings menu again, I have a Thumbnail file for it as well. I am using the ClickOnce version.

For clickonce it will be in folders within c:\users\yourname\onecommander
Is your folder also within?

Yes, I found the CustomIcons there, added my icons, and it worked. Thank you!
