[Tips&Tricks] How to Customize Folder Icons

You can give your task tree a personal touch by changing standard ‘folder’ icons. With automatic formatting in MyLifeOrganized, you can visually separate tasks from different areas of life like this:

 

 

Quick setup

To quickly apply the autoformatting from our example to your folders just import them in your task planner for Windows:

Step 1: Download our pre-made autoformatting rules from this link.

Step 2: Import the rules by navigating to Tools → Options → Automatic Formatting → Import

Step 3: Adjust the autoformatting rules to match your folder names.

Step 4: Click Ok  

 

Voilà! Your folders are now more personalized with custom icons. 

 

Tip. You can import your own icons. To add icons, click Icon → Manage Icons → Add . The max size of an icon should be 72x72.

 

Note. Autoformatting is only available on desktop and cannot be synced to mobile. If you wish to see the same custom icons on both desktop and mobile, assign them to flags on desktop and sync to mobile — custom flags syncs perfectly with iOS and Android apps!
