選擇圖片作為文件夾圖標的背景顯示 (Choose a Picture to Show as a Background for the Folder Icon)

Did you know that the default folder icon in Windows Explorer can be customized to have a background image? Just like your Desktop!

您知道Windows資源管理器中的默認文件夾圖標可以自定義為具有背景圖像嗎？ 就像您的桌面一樣！

The default background of folder icons is a thumbnail preview of the contents inside: images from inside the folder, icons of the applications or file types found in the folder, etc. This can be customized and you can have it replaced by an image of your choosing.

文件夾圖標的默認背景是內部內容的縮略圖預覽：文件夾內的圖像，文件夾中找到的應用程序圖標或文件類型等。可以自定義，也可以將其替換為您的圖像選擇。

To do this, right click on the folder for which you want to change the icon background image and select Properties. Or simply select it and press Alt+Enter on your keyboard. This opens the Properties window of the folder.

為此，請右鍵單擊要更改其圖標背景圖像的文件夾，然后選擇“ 屬性” 。 或者直接選擇它，然后按鍵盤上的Alt + Enter 。 這將打開文件夾的“ 屬性”窗口。

Here, go to the Customize tab, in which you will find the Folder pictures section. Click on the Choose File button, Browse and select the picture you want to use as background. Then, press OK twice.

在這里，轉到“ 自定義”選項卡，您將在其中找到“ 文件夾圖片”部分。 單擊選擇文件按鈕， 瀏覽并選擇要用作背景的圖片。 然后，按兩次確定 。

Once you selected the picture, click on OK again, and you are done.

選擇圖片后，再次單擊確定 ，就可以完成。

Now the background image is applied to the folder icon.

現在，背景圖像已應用于文件夾圖標。

Pretty cool, isn’t it?

很酷，不是嗎？

更改文件夾圖標 (Change the Icon of your Folder)

Another thing you might want to do, is change the icon of a folder. If you’ve customized your folder as shown in the previous section, the background image of the folder icon will be replaced with the new icon. To switch back to the background image view, you must revert to the default folder icon.

您可能想做的另一件事是更改文件夾的圖標。 如果您已如上一節中所示自定義文件夾，則文件夾圖標的背景圖像將替換為新圖標。 要切換回背景圖像視圖，必須還原為默認的文件夾圖標。

This section will show you how to customize your folders assuming that you are not interested in changing the background image of the folder icon but you simply want to change its icon completely.

本節將向您展示如何自定義文件夾，前提是您不希望更改文件夾圖標的背景圖像，而只是想完全更改其圖標。

This is done from the same Customize tab of the folder Properties window. Go to the Folder icons section and click on Change icon.

這是通過文件夾“屬性”窗口的相同“ 自定義”選項卡完成的。 轉到文件夾圖標部分，然后單擊更改圖標 。

In the Change Icon window, you need to select the new icon that you want applied. Click on Browse and navigate to its location, select it and press OK twice.

在“ 更改圖標”窗口中，您需要選擇要應用的新圖標。 單擊瀏覽并導航到其位置，選擇它并按兩次OK 。

One thing to remember: icon files are stored as standalone .ico files but can also be found inside .exe, .icl or .dll files.

要記住的一件事：圖標文件存儲為獨立的.ico文件，但也可以在.exe ， .icl或.dll文件中找到。

Once you select the new icon, click again OK, and you are done. The new icon is applied to the selected folder.

選擇新圖標后，再次單擊OK ，然后完成。 新圖標將應用于所選文件夾。

為文件夾使用背景圖片 (Use a Background Picture for your Folder)

Another piece of customization you can do, is to set a background picture for your folder and also change the way text is shown, in order to match your background. This can be done using a number of free tools. The most user friendly you can find is called Windows 7 Folder Background Changer. Long name isn’t it? :)

您可以執行的另一項自定義操作是，為文件夾設置背景圖片，并更改文本的顯示方式，以匹配背景。 可以使用許多免費工具來完成此操作。 您可以找到的最用戶友好的稱為Windows 7 Folder Background Changer。 是長名嗎？ :)

This tool was released by the WindowsClub and can be downloaded from Softpedia. Once you have it on your computer, unzip it and run its main executable as admin (Right click -> Run as administrator).

該工具由Windows Club發布，可以從Softpedia下載。 將其放在計算機上后，將其解壓縮并以管理員身份運行其主要可執行文件( 右鍵單擊->以管理員身份運行 )。

Note: If you don’t run it as administrator, chances are high that the application will crash.

注意：如果您不以管理員身份運行它，則該應用程序很可能會崩潰。

Once the application is open, select the folder for which you want to add a background image. Then, click on Change Background Image and select the image you want to use.

打開應用程序后，選擇要為其添加背景圖像的文件夾。 然后，單擊“ 更改背景圖像”，然后選擇要使用的圖像。

One very important tip: do not forget to change the text color. Simply click on the box near Text Color and customize it so that it has enough contrast vs. your background image. Otherwise you won’t be able to see the text very well.

一個非常重要的提示：不要忘記更改文本顏色。 只需單擊“ 文本顏色 ”附近的框并對其進行自定義，以使其與背景圖像相比具有足夠的對比度。 否則，您將無法很好地看到文字。

As an added feature, you can select if you want to Show Shadows Under Text and choose to Apply To Sub Folders the background image you have just chosen.

作為一項附加功能，您可以選擇是否要在“文本下顯示陰影”，然后選擇“ 應用到子文件夾 ”剛剛選擇的背景圖像。

Once all configuration is done, close the application and the settings are applied.

完成所有配置后，關閉應用程序并應用設置。
