Is there a way to return the colour folders when using the new tags like the old behavior of labels? These new circle thingees are too small and barely noticable.
OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Seriously? You bothered to write a reply to this? 😉
What Is the software name for labels that work on Sierra? Without having to disable SIP? My last purchased software was only good until El Capitan.
Thanks.
Actually, your reply made me curious. Not sure to what extent the following applies, but it might:
§ 1194.21 Software applications and operating systems.
(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually.
(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer.
(c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that assistive technology can track focus and focus changes.
(d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to assistive technology. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text.
(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout an application’s performance.
(f) Textual information shall be provided through operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum information that shall be made available is text content, text input caret location, and text attributes.
(g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color selections and other individual display attributes.
(h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user.
ℹ Color coding shall not be used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.
(j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided.
(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.
(l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow people using assistive technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues.
Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.

There are XtraFinder (free) and Total Finder. But both require an SIP exception in 10.11 or 10.12 in order to run.
csrutil --without debug
This command allows Finder code injection. Haven't been able to determine just how serious a security risk this is. For the time being, I am not running XtraFinder in 10.11.
I've just upgraded to Mavricks from my best friend Snow Leopard and HATE this new 'feature'. I concur with the other replies- the colours were a vital part of my work flow. I hate you apple.
Good Luck.

That is an opinion that no everyone shares.
Actually this is the kind of discourse that a design firm or tech company spends thousands and thousands of dollars arguing about. But thanks for your thorough input.
Also by stating "nobody" shares this criticism, you are ignoring the 177 page thread for which you are posting in.
Ah, I think we're both confusing me with someone else. I'll leave you two to it. Try to keep it friendly now.
Yes, I am very sorry. I thought you were MichelPM, replying to my earlier post. My last message was pointed at her earlier post. Let me see if I can properly redirect this conversation.
It's been over 4 years since Apple removed Labels from the OS X (and the OS is not even OS X anymore, it's macOS)
I will venture to guess that Labels will never return to macOS.
Can't believe I'm still seeing replies to this zombie thread! And I just added to it with this post. Looks like the undead can't be killed. Time for it to be locked.
Threads don't generally get locked.
I think some people only use their Macs once every four years. Imagine the shock when they apply the updates and something is different! Shock, horror! 😉

I hate the new tags in Mavericks, need coloured folders!!
