I loved these! I can't wait for the new version for TB 24. When TB updated and I lost my colored folders, I was horrified. Once you get used to them, you hate being without.
Fisheater should get a lot of DONATIONS to keep him going on this project!

Jusqu'à que cette add-on ne soit plus compatible avec Thunderbird 24, je n'avais pas réalisé à quel point il m'était devenu indispensable ! Je le promet, dès que la mise à jour de compatibilité avec Thunderbird 24 sort, je fais un don ! Je me sent déjà honteux de ne pas l'avoir fais avant.Merci au développeur pour ce super add-on !

@Strim Thank you so much for the update. I was trying to modify the install.rdf file (max version) with no success.
perhaps could the author import or fork this project on github, including all necessary build files, etc...

Hi,
Thank you very much Strim for the dropbox link.
It works perfectly !
As you are able to perform miracles, I am taking the liberty to ask you a further question.
Before the update to Thunderbird 24.0, I had the ability to put a specific icon, and to use a specific font color, to any of my Thunderbird folders
To do that I used :
- Mail Tweak 1.0pre10 (Icon Folder checked) : http://mailtweak.mozdev.org/installation.html
- a userChrome.css file where the content could be as follows :
treechildren::-moz-tree-image(folderNameCol, name-Test)
{list-style-image: url('icon1.png') !important;}
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, name-Test)
{color: DarkCyan !important; font-weight: bold !important;}
- icon png images
- userChrome.css and icon png images were located in C:\Users\Myname\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxx.default
Thus, for the folder named Test :
- the icon named icon1 was dispayed
- the folder name text was displayed in DarkCyan colour
Would you have an idea on how :
- either to make Mail Tweak compatible with Thunderbird 24
- or to amend Color Folder extension in order to allow the customization of icon folders and of the font color folder text
Thank you very much in advance for any reply.

I'd like to thank Strim for fixing this extension and putting it online, as it appears to work perfectly now! (at least, in Thunderbird 24 and Xubuntu 12.04)
Weirdly, editing the colorfolders.js file as Strim suggested it wouldn't work my case (I even performed a diff showing me the same exact differences as Strim's ones but it still wouldn't work), so that link to a fixed version is more than welcome.
