Especially if you use anime folder icons. Show them even if they are normal. It's same idea of ''show your desktop''

I will start:

nothing fancy. Acchi Kocchi saved incase of mental breakdown. Most animes are deleted because of Hard Drive space. (sobs)

I should ask this. How you could customize your folders? Like different design on each folder.

Go to the folder in question-->properties-->customize tab-->Change folder Icon

you can google stuff for the specific icon but to use it it has to be in .ico format

I've tried searching, yet I'm still not sure how are you all doing those to your folders. The only thing I can do is change it to a little picture square :c

Edit: NVM, found out how lol

Not really recommended considering it takes up more space thus slowing loading times compared to using a standard folder icon. Then again, its just for the sake of aesthetics and nothing more. And its not really doable in the case of huge collection like mine.

No, it works on 7. One of the posts above explains how you do it.

After a somewhat lengthy time setting up, here's my animus:
The numbers before the animu means the order I've downloaded it.


Phew, that's done.

How much space does it add? & how big is your collection?

It really depends on the file size of the icon. Lets do some simple maths and unit conversion.

1 ico = 450KB
100 anime folders = 45000KB = 45 MB
250 anime folders = 112500KB = 112.5 MB
500 anime folders = 225000KB = 225 MB
1000 anime folders = 450000KB = 450MB
2000 anime folders = 900000KB = 900MB

Since i currently have 1500 folders under anime, its not exactly practical for me to have custom icons for each folder(unless i write an application to make this process much simpler) and 700MB is a lot for icons. And since you have huge icons, it means you need to scroll more too if you want to search an anime series from a folder containing subfolders based on its respective anime series.

Thanks. Shall avoid. The size wouldn't really be a problem (for me) but you did remind me about its unpracticality. I liked how you said "let's do some simple math ..." - made me feel like I was in class again. ;)

I need to consider doing that of puting icons to the folders... at least to the smaller ones.

First, this is my folder with the anime I'm currently watching or that it's finished (and I've yet to add to my main folder, which is in an external HDD.



This is my folder with things I haven't watched but I plan to watch soon (note: it can take years, while I keep downloading and watching other stuff... but at least that's the intent... and sometimes its anime I've seen but in higher quality than the one in my collection)... yeah, its kind of a mess.




And this is my most valuable folder, my anime collection (I'll need a few screens here):





Finally, the movies folder (some movies are in their anime folder, for example, the Conan movies):
