Create custom icons for folders

Hello,
I like the feature to change the icon of folders but, in my opinion, there are not enough choices. So I’m wondering if the icon couldn’t generated automatically. For example

color=accent
folder-icon=firefox

in the .directory file would generate a icon of a folder using the accent-color with the firefox-icon on top. Mainly I would think this could be used with symbolic icons.

Most folder icons (in breeze al least) are aware of system wide accent color. It could be fesable to make individual folders having both a custom color and icon.

There is just thee thing that need to be concidered :

  • Is it too dificult to add this in Dolphin ? (i don’t know since i’m not a dev)
  • What are we doing of the existing icon folder that just have colors (eg. folder-yellow) ?
  • Is it freedesktop.org compliant ?
