View Ref-FileFAQ - How can I assign a text colour to folders etc. generally?       Thing

Q: I would like to have all folders in blue, all files in yellow and all 
   executable files in green. How do I do that?

A: Actually it's quite simple: First of all the text colour has to be set 
   to yellow in the 'Appearance...' dialog, which makes everything yellow. 
   Now in ThingIcn, say, the standard icon for folders "FOLDER" has to be 
   assigned the mask '*' with the colour blue. Do the same for the icon 
   "APPL", though for files and with the colour green. That's it!

   As Thing automatically uses the colour of the standard icon if no 
   particular colour was specified for an assignment, TOS programs too, 
   for instance, will be displayed in green even though these do not have 
   the "APPL" icon.
