It's not trying to out-clever itself...folders that already have a color recorded (in the parent's Finder.Data file) keep their old color, even if it's white. Anyway, to change the default folder color, edit the Finder's rRectList(1) resource (type = $C001, ID = 1). At offset +65, change the $E0 to whatever you want ($E is yellow...for other values, stare at the Colors menu and read across...0 for black, 1 for blue, etc; note that $C is missing...it would be another gray, like 3). FYI, here's the other stuff in the rRectList(1) resource: +000: 8 rectangles for default window positions, 8 bytes each +064: Word (default folder foreground and background colors, high byte) +066: Word digit group separator character (comma for USA) +068: Word default preference settings +070: Word default Quit setting (bit mapped) +072: Rect initial trashcan position (leave bottom-right 0,0) +080: Rect initial Trash window rectangle +088: Rect initial Clipboard window rectangle +096: 16 bytes desktop pattern (all $DDs for periwinkle blue) -- David A.
