How can I change the color of all folders from light blue to another color?

My computer was just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and now all the file folder icons are pale blue on the desktop and elsewhere. My desktop is green and those light blue folders do not look good on a green background.

How can I change the color of the folder icons to another color?

IMac Intel, new in May 2006, Mac OS X (10.4.7), Leopard

Hi ys,

You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.

Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

Regards,
Barry

Some pianists move the piano, others move the stool.

The default folder icon is a component of the operating system.

It's not a problem of icons wrongly assorted to the background, it's your background which isn't accorded to the icons.
It would be easier and safer to change the background.
