In addition to Custom Smileys Todo List, I’d like to have another todo list for Folder Tweaker, which is version 1.1 at the moment.

Like usual, this list is sorted by priority:

1. The source code should be rewritten from scratch in AutoHotkey, not AutoIt. AutoHotkey is by far better than AutoIt and it’ll give me a chance to add more cool features to Folder Tweaker.
2. Add an option called “Make this folder portable”. That means, the icon and/or background image should be copied to the folder and the path to them should be relative path. In this way, users are able to see the folder’ background image/icon no matter where they put it. An USB stick, for instance.
3. Add the ability to apply/remove background images and/or icons of more than one folder at a time. For example, “Apply to this folder and all folders under it (recursive)”

Any comments are welcomed.

What it does

This software gives you a chance to change the icon and the background image of your folders within seconds.

Forget your dull, boring and default folders, let’s bring a new life to them:

Folder Tweaker also integrates itself to your context menu, which’ll reduce much time finding the program files and lauching it from there.

How it works

All you have to do is right-clicking any of your folders and choose Tweak this folder. Folder Tweaker will be launched and it allows you to customize your folder completely.
