Extremely useful, even better with some tweaks

This app has been wonderful. It helps me identify folders at a glance, and it makes a big difference in my ability to quickly navigate a fairly large development machine. Customizations don’t propagate via Dropbox, however, so I’ve had to repeat using Folder Designer on all of my DropBox-connected machines to get the designs. to show up everywhere.

One huge change I’d make: once I’ve chosen the pattern and background I want, allow draggin and dropping a folder onto the interface to customize the folder, rather than requiring navigation through my document hierarchy to that folder using the OPEN box.
