Bring back the blue-folder folder thumbnails

Dropbox, please allow users to choose the plain blue folders for folder thumbnails. The photo-collage folder thumbnails introduced about 2 years ago are distracting and randomly irrelevant to folder content. At least make the blue-folder thumbnail an option.

Thank you!

    Hi there amcoffice - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

    Just to clarify, are you referring to the folder icons when navigating your files on the website in the "large grid" mode? 

    Thanks!

    Folder thumbnails on website (see screenshot below). They used to all be blue. Since about 2 years ago, they are a random photo collage of folder contents. The only folders that have blue-folder thumbnails are folders that are empty or that contain only subfolders (and with no files that are outside of a subfolder).
