panther labels - just the folder please?

[Andy Hughes]

Is there a way I can just color a folder in panther? I don't want the label to make the text a color and not the folder. Is there a place where I can get folder icons to replace the ones I have so I can visually see a folder's differerence? I really don't like panther labels, or it should be an option to color the folder. I use the list view a lot and labeled text of files and folders looks like a selected item. I just want a colored folder or to change the icon of the folder, not the text.
I could also make changes myself with photoshop if someone tells me how to get ahold of the icon in the "get info" box and what file format I would use to save the changed folder.
Any help would be appreciated. I have done some searches but don't find anything.

in finder, choose the folder. "get info" (apple-i) >

then choose an icon file (if you dont have any extra icons, get e.g. from http://www.xicons.com/ a lot of free icons for mac) > (in finder) "get info" of the file (apple-i from that icon too) >

then, choose the picture in the info of the icon (apple-c) > paste (apple-v) it to the other folders folder picture in its info window. done

you can have like simple, similar, different color folder images or just any kind of image for any folder you like, that way they are faster to find.
