Review for Colored Folders by Phivos
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Many thanks and congrats to the developer for adapting this excellent add-on for TB 68.+ !!
A minor, but still annoying issue, is the fact that current version seems to retain the "blue" font color for folders with unread messages, even if the unread messages are not "new" for/in this particular folder. For instance, when you mark as unread an old message in a folder, the folder gets and retains forever the blue font color, denoting there are "new unread messages" in it.
This is the case also for folders with old unread messages in them, a quite misleading fact, since I have many folders with old unread messages, and all of them got now the blue "new unread" font!
===========
Update: Plugin version 1.3.4 is much better, indeed, thank you. After disabling all other add-ons, I isolated the above mentioned behavior as follows: it seems that colored folders (CF) plugin messes with the folder icon to show a small orange star in its upper right corner when unread messages are included in the folder (irrespective of the folder color - even in the case of the default yellow icon). Still, the default TB behavior (i.e., when CF plugin is disabled) is to show this little orange star ONLY for NEW unread messages, but this is not the case with the CF plugin enabled (i.e., the little orange star appears WHENEVER a message is marked as unread in the particular folder or even if old unread messages are included in folders); this results into marking all folders that contain even 1 unread message since moths ago, as folders with NEW UNREAD messages, which is confusing. Hope this helps the developer isolate the bug, totally appreciate the response and the hard work!
This is really really strange - because this Add-on doesn't touch any text colors, at all!
Do you still have this problem, if you deactivate the addon ?
First of all, pls download the latest version ( i just fixed some minor issues ), then test again.
Do you have other Add-ons installed ?
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
