macOS Tahoe’s Folder Icon Customization
It’s not like it’s going to take you long, since there are just two elements to this:
- Changing a folder’s color
- Adding either an icon or an emoji to the folder
In this case, icons and emoji don’t sound all that different — whichever you choose, you end up with a symbol appearing on the folder. But there are differences, and at the least, having a choice of both gives you scope to go crazy with customizing everything.
Figured out how to apply any arbitrary SF Symbol to a folder in Tahoe.
xattr -w 'com.apple.icon.folder#S' '{"sym":"camera.viewfinder"}' some/folder/here
This also works with private symbol names.
also because emoji labels are just handled as strings, you can put anything in the emoji config thing.
For example:
xattr -w 'com.apple.icon.folder#S' '{"emoji":"HIMOM"}' some/folder/here
