Description Tom von Schwerdtner 2004-11-20 07:06:58 UTC 
I would like to use nautilus backgrounds as a visual helper to tell me where I
am in my directory tree.  For example, I have a dark green background in my
Documents directory, but I would like to be able to say "Set the Documents
directory background to this color, and all the directories under it".  This
would make it very easy to tell where a directory view was coming from at a glance.

#160355 suggests that could apply to a network share too

At launchpad has been reported the same bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/393657

I think Bug 594168 is a duplicate of this bug, but I can't find how to mark them.

Comment 7 C de-Avillez 2010-06-11 13:39:32 UTC 
From bug 594167:
"Currently, backgrounds and colors can only be adjust in compact/icon view, but
not in list view. When attempting to drag a color,etc into a folder in list
view, nothing happens. After searching around a bit it appears that this is
normal, and that the backgrounds are only visible in other view modes.

Would it be possible to enable adjusting backgrounds when working in list-mode?
It could even be an option in the preferences (e.g. "display backgrounds in
list-mode").

This has also been mentioned in Ubuntu's Brainstorm application:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17747/."
Comment 8 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-08-02 12:14:08 UTC 
'Backgrounds and Emblems' have now been removed from nautilus master, see [1]. Closing this as OBSOLETE.
