You use the Folder Marker to color-code the folders. You use the right-click menu for 2-click folder colorization and the recently used colors within that menu. But do you know you can modify the “Mark Folder” menu, re-order it, delete unused items, or name the colors in your way? Moreover, this also changes the name of the text tags applied to the folder.

How to change Tags names
When you modify the menu, the name of the menu is taken as a tag. So, by changing the name of the menu item, you also change the tag that is applied when customizing the icon throughout it.
But there is another option: the tag remains the same when changing the icon through the main screen of the program. So, how to change it is described in this article.
Conclusion
Now you know that with Folder Marker, you can not only mark folders by using the default right-click menu, but also customize the menu for yourself: add additional icons to the menu, name icons in your way, and remove unused ones.
