Well, calling it "more buggy" implies that it makes sense for the folder icons
to follow the selection/accent color... But it doesn't, because of the current
design of the icon itself, which is only distinguishable from the background by
its color.

Also, accent colors are very nice, but also "stronger" than the default blue
selection: I feel that imposing them to folders (which are by far the most
common icons on the screen) is "too much" and less easy on the eye.

At least in the absence of a real solution, I'd rather not change the folders'
color at all.
