~~Title: Label Definitions~~
<pageheader/>

This page lets you create and edit [[:file_operations:labels|labels]] - combinations of colors and font styles that you can apply to files and folders. Any file or folder can be assigned a label, and you can use wildcards or [[:file_operations:filtered_operations|filters]] to automatically label based on filename (so, for example, you could automatically label all your .doc files).

  * **Label**: Specify the name for the label. This will be shown in the //Label// column for any files it's assigned to, and also used in generated label lists in toolbars and menus (e.g. the **Properties** dropdown menu in the default toolbars).
  * **Category**: You can arrange your labels in categories - the list on the left groups your labels into two categories by default (//Colors// and //Status//) but you can also add your own.
  * **Bold**, **Italic**, **Underline**: Applies the checked styles to files with this label.
  * **Unselected text**: Specify the unselected text and background colors for files with this label.
  * **Selected text**: The selected text and background colors for files with this label.
  * **Icon color**: Tints the file icon with the specified color.
  * **File icon**: Override the file icon.
  * **Status icon**: Adds a status icon for files with this label (shown in the //Status// column).
  * **Show in Label column**: Prevents the label from being shown in the //Label// column.
  * **Pin to top**: Files with this label will be sorted to the top of the list automatically (NTFS filesystems only).

Note tha the //selected// text and background colors defined by a label won't be used if items are displayed using visual styles, unless **Visual styles override file selection colors** is turned off on the [[..:colors_and_fonts:color_blending|Color Blending]] page.
