Organize Your Project Visually – Instantly

Your Project window is a mess. Dozens of identical yellow folders, no visual structure, no way to tell Scripts from Prefabs at a glance.

Folder & Icon Organizer transforms your Project window into a structured, color-coded workspace. Import it, right-click a folder, pick a color. That's it.

No setup. No configuration. No runtime cost.

What Makes It Different

• Auto-assign icons by folder content – the tool scans your folders and assigns matching badges automatically. Scripts, Prefabs, Materials, Textures, Audio – detected and labeled without manual work. One click for a single folder, one click for the entire project.
• See your hierarchy at a glance – colored tree lines and row tinting turn the flat folder list into a visual map. Parent colors flow down with gradient fade. You instantly know where you are.
• Preview before you commit – hover any icon and see it applied live on the actual folder. No guessing, no undo loops.

Custom Colors

• 14 curated preset colors for instant use
• Pick any color beyond presets with the built-in color picker
• Access from right-click menu, Alt+Click popup, or Editor Window

Color + Badge Combo

• Overlay a badge on any colored folder – green folder + Script badge, red outlined + Prefab, custom color + Audio
• 12 badge types from Unity's built-in icons: Script, Prefab, Material, Texture, Audio, Shader, Animation, Scene, Font, Mesh, Light, Camera
• Works with Colored, Outlined, and Custom Color bases

5 Icon Packs (75+ icons)

• Colored – 14 solid folder colors
• Outlined – edge-detected outline variants
• Emoji – 27 status/symbol badges (Star, Warning, Lock, Gear, Heart, and more)
• Unity – asset type badges (Prefab, Script, Material, Shader, and more)
• Extra – 10 hand-crafted themed icons (Calm, Energy, Flash, Focus, and more)

Auto-Icon Assignment

• Detects folder content and assigns the right badge automatically
• Colored folders get the badge as an overlay; uncolored folders get a badge on the default icon
• Batch-assign all folders in one click
• Optional auto-assign on import – folders update when you add, move, or delete assets
• Manually assigned icons are never overwritten

Visual Hierarchy

• Colored tree lines – vertical lines match parent folder color with gradient fade for depth
• Row tinting – semi-transparent colored background behind folder rows, adjustable opacity (1%-50%)
• Both work in tree view and list view, toggle on/off from the Editor Window

Subfolder Cascading

• Propagate a color to all subfolders with one click
• Works with colors, badges, and any icon combination

Fast Workflow

• Alt+Click any folder – instant tabbed popup picker
• Keyboard shortcuts – Alt+Shift+1-6 for colors, Alt+Shift+0 to reset, Alt+Shift+W for the window
• Right-click context menu with every option
• Editor Window with collapsible sections
• All shortcuts fully rebindable via Edit > Shortcuts
• Works with any keyboard layout – QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, Dvorak

Built for Teams

• Settings stored in a single JSON file – commit to version control and share colors across your team
