Labels X enhances Apple's file labeling features in Mac OS X.
With Labels X not only can you apply various color tints to file or folder icons, and sort the files by label, but also you have an option of applying color tints to either an icon or its name or both.

This gives you more freedom and options in organizing your files. Additionally, Labels X shares file label information with Mac OS 9. So, no matter where you label your files - you will see the labels in both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X (file labeling is a built-in feature in Mac OS 9).

Here are some key features of "Labels X":
Applies color tint labels to Finder icons;
Change the "bubble" color; (10.3 only)
Adds "Label" column to Finder list view to sort files by label;(pre 10.3 systems)
Easy-to-use contextual menu to view and change labels for files;(pre 10.3 systems)
Label menu in the Finder's File menu to view and change labels;(pre 10.3 systems)
label command-line utility to get and set label information from Terminal;
Simple preference pane with an ability to change label names and colors;

Limitations:
Labels X functions with no features removed for first 15 days - so you can try it out in full before deciding if you want to keep them or not! If you have evaluated version 1.0 before, your trial period will be reset so you can try the new version in full as well.

What's New:
Changed how the label strips are drawn.
Addressed a crashing issue if the name of the home folder differs from the name of the folder in NetInfo by case only.
Fixed a problem that caused the LX preference pane to crash if a user had set a preference in 10.2.x that didn't exist in 10.4.x.
Fixed the generic icon problem in the Recent Items Apple menu item if FruitMenu was not enabled.
Includes Smart Crash Reporter.

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.2 or later
Application Enhancer (included in installer).
