iconXprit allows you can ctrl-click an item in the Finder to get a contextual menu "iconXprit". The menu contains various functions to add custom icons, color and text as layers. Colors and texts added from the menus are more than visible markers - items with the same color can be listed and text is searchable. Opening the editor panel, you have more options to adjust images and can create templates accessible from the menu afterwards. Please discover more by trying for yourself.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Customising folder icons makes it much easier for me to visually organise information in the Finder, and see at a glance what I'm looking for.
So I was disappointed when I learned that development of Folder Icon X (an excellent wee utility) ended with OS X 10.4.
I've tried a few replacements since upgrading to 10.5, and then 10.6. IconXprit is the best, because even though it's not the most intuitive application to use, it works.
Alternative to labels

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />For those who much prefer classic labels to the garish X versions, and have been waiting interminably for Unsanity to update Labels X, iconXprit could be the answer. It can colorize icons from a custom list or any free colour via a contextual menu.
In fact, though it takes a bit more setting up, iconXprit exceeds the capabilities of Labels X in several important respects: colours can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts, there is no seven colour limit, and you can still use Finder labels alongside icon colours (for those occasions when an in-your-face banner is what you really want).
And colorizing icons is only a part of what iconXprit can do: it can also apply text, copy and paste custom icons, apply from an archive, and more.
Early versions were a bit buggy, but the current version seems stable enough for me (G5, Leopard)â??and it does not use APE.
I like it

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm a long time user of iconCompo, and I did localize it in French when the original translator stopped to localize future version. I localized iconXprit in French as soon as Trollin sent me a beta version for test. It works very well and do what I want it to do.
Thank you Trollin, and merry Christmas to all of you :-) .
