[Feature request] Make folder icons adjustable

[Speravir]

As mentioned in #111 I use for over one year a user style created by Aris, cf. this comment (I made an update after a code change), but probably it would be better to provide an opportunity from the addon itself to choose another folder icon – or at least make it easier than now.

A potential problem is that the used symbols are in PNG format (it works fine for me), but if alternative icons were provided, they should probably be better in SVG format. There are lots of free SVG resources out there …

This is the recent code I use. Note, that the file paths are idividual:

div.bkmkitem_f .ffavicon {
	-moz-padding-start: 20px !important;
	background: -moz-image-rect(url("./CustomCSSforFx/image/folder-item.png"), 0, 32, 16, 16) center no-repeat !important;
}

div.bkmkitem_f img[src="/icons/menubkmk.png"] {
	-moz-padding-start: 20px !important;
	background: -moz-image-rect(url("./CustomCSSforFx/image/bookmarksMenu.png"), 0, 16, 16, 0) center no-repeat !important;
}

div.bkmkitem_f img[src="/icons/otherbkmk.png"] {
	-moz-padding-start: 20px !important;
	background: -moz-image-rect(url("./CustomCSSforFx/image/unsortedBookmarks.png"), 0, 16, 16, 0) center no-repeat !important;
}

div.bkmkitem_f img[src="/icons/toolbarbkmk.png"] {
	-moz-padding-start: 20px !important;
	background: -moz-image-rect(url("./CustomCSSforFx_(Aris)/image/bookmarksToolbar.png"), 0, 16, 16, 0) center no-repeat !important;
}

Just wanted to second this!

I am not a fan of the FF 57+ grey folder icons, particularly as a Windows user for many, many years, and its gold folder icons. I followed some online instructions (from here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1178010) to create a userChrome.css file to change the folder icons back to something close to the original gold color. This has worked great!

I am very happy with Bookmark search plus 2, particularly it's reloading of favicons (a long-time point of disappointment for me with FF) and of course the "Go Parent Folder" feature! I also really like the search options and behavior.

But the gray folder icons are killing me! If only it supported the userChrome.css coloring, life would be awesome! ;-)

This is in 2.0.74, for main folder icon only for now.
Added that as a new option so that it is easy for lamba users to use it:

• load an image file (PNG, BMP, GIF, SVG .. etc ..) from local directory
• then activate to use it as replacement folder icon
• and deactivate the option to return to default icon

The option page does a bit of checking on pre-loading the image and re-szing it to 16x16 to verify all is ok, and will show error messages in case something is going wrong.

The option to use the new image is enabled only when a valid image has been loaded.

Let me know if any problem, thanks aaFn.

Note: I created on GitHub a sub-folder to add alternate folder icons
https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/tree/master/altFldrIcons

I initiated it by placing in there the old pre FF56 yellow folder icon

Use Pull requests if you want to add more alternate icons in there.

Closing the issue as resolved. thanks aaFn.

Just to make it clear, there is now a setting in the plugins settings and works exactly as expected.
