Ubuntu MATE 15.04 comes with a very interesting application that allows user to color the newly created folders and to even assign a small number of symbols to it.

Ubuntu MATE has been getting a lot of attention lately after developer Martin Wimpress pointed out some of the features that are going to land with the 15.04 version, which is scheduled to land on April 23. Even if the development cycle for Ubuntu MATE 15.04 hasn't closed just yet, all of these features are already available right now and they can only get improved from now on.

The developers of this newly accepted Ubuntu flavor have been doing some great work with the distribution and none of their releases made until now can be accused of being boring. If anything else, Ubuntu MATE is one of the most active projects in the entire family, despite the fact that it's being managed by a rather small team.

Folder Colors is a new addition

This particular feature was first introduced by Martin Wimpress in the changelog for the first 15.04 Beta release, but he chose to detail it in a YouTube video so that users understand how much more easily it works.

Folder Colors is implemented by default in Ubuntu MATE 15.04, which can be downloaded (at least the latest Beta release) from Softpedia. We have also recently written about a feature that would allow users to change the layout of the operating systems that it resembles with other operating systems. This in itself is a unique feature.

Also, please keep in mind that despite appearances, Ubuntu MATE 15.04 is not actually a stable release. The developers still have some work to do. The stable iteration of the distribution is expected to arrive on April 23, along with the base OS and all the other flavors.
