If Unraid reduce the spacing around the advanced view toggle, I will move or incorporate the incognito button again so it doesnt take up any extra space... again. P

I like the style of the semi hidden incognito button which is why I built it the way I did. I want to bring a modern feel to the UI, not keep us in the dark ages.

Anyway, while I wait for other opinions to come in if you want it how your screenshot is, add this to your docker and VM custom CSS.

.ToggleViewMode:has(.fv3-incognito-btn) > span {
    margin-left: 16px;
}
.fv3-incognito-btn {
    all: unset;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: inline-flex;
    align-items: center;
    gap: 10px;
    font: inherit;
    color: inherit;
}
.fv3-incognito-btn.fv3-incognito-active {
    color: #0088cc;
}
.fv3-incognito-btn::before {
    content: 'Incognito Mode';
    font-size: 1.1rem;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
}
.fv3-incognito-btn i {
    width: 25px;
    height: 11px;
    min-width: 25px;
    background: #ccc;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    border-radius: 4px;
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;

    margin: 1px 0;

    content: '';
    position: absolute;

    border-radius: 4px;
    top: -1px;
    left: -1px;
    transition: left 0.2s;

In the end im going to end upp with a tv infront me instead of getting rid of containers )

So there was others like me but yeah that fixed it a bit for me. I guess unrelated to folderview i would wish that Unraid moved advanced view up to the bar above so the ui got more compressed. Then i guess it would be more worth to hide the incognito button as one would get more back in terms of vertical space.

You got your wish, I included the margin "fix" in the latest stable build.

For now the incognito button is staying where it is.

thanks for the help and the fix 💯

First off, thank you for all the hard work on this! I just migrated from v2 to v3 and I'm enjoying the updates. I appreciate all your hard work and time.

A few bugs i have found:


1) CSS Preset Colors causing extra borders to appear
When I apply any of the Preset CSS colors, my folders end up getting an odd boxing effect:
Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 1.49.16 PM.png Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 2.33.40 PM.png

2) Apply Global Defaults to All Folders not working as expected
I really like the "default" setting for folder creation. However, I have noticed that attempting to use "Apply Defaults to all Folders" does not work (maybe partially).
- Global Defaults Tab > change preview borders > Click apply defaults to all folders.
- Refresh Docker Page > Folders would not reflect the update
Workaround:

- Edit each folder individually > toggle OFF, then toggle ON "Use Global Defaults". This would then mirror and apply the correct folder defaults.

3) Global Default: Activation Mode not applying to new folders

- Set Global Defaults Tab > Activation Mode: Hover

- When I create a new folder, this setting is set to click

Workaround:

- Click Use Global Defaults first, on the new folder creation page, when making a new folder.

Glad you're enjoying it!

What version of Unraid are you using?
I haven't been able to recreate any of the bugs you have mentioned, would you mind grabbing some debug info for me so I can try figure out why you're having this issue?

If you go to your docker screen and type "fv3debug" and then refresh the screen it should trigger a .json to donwload. Once that has downloaded type "fv3debug" again and refresh to turn off debug mode.
Can you please send me that .json?

For others experiencing a similar issue please note that this was primarily a cache issue.

If you have moved from another folderview to FolderView3 please delete your cache/history.

Also for Firefox users, some of the custom CSS will not view correctly. I am working on resolving this but it is challenging.
I'd suggest you move to a good browser like Chrome 🤣

Hi. First of all, I want to thanks every contributor keeping FolderView plugin alive.

I have noticed that FolderView2 plugin stopped calculating CPU & Memory usage per docker folder, so I have update to FolderView3. It partially works: CPU and current RAM usage seems to be correct, but max RAM allowance is not always right. I guess, it works fine if you have unlimited RAM available for containers. But in my case, I limit my container max RAM allowance by using --memory=2G as Extra Parameter. I think the best fix would be to use sum of max RAM allowance if every container has limit set in the folder or use max if else.

Im just pushing a main/stable release now that should resolve most of your firefox issues.

Plus some other edge cases I experienced while testing and troubleshooting.

I have updated the logic behind this, let me know if it's still not accurate for you.

Hi @chodeus - Can you help me with the custom CSS to claim the space from last empty column "uptime"?

My folders are always closed like this, and the uptime column is wasted space I would rather use to show extra containers in the folder.image.png

When the folder is opened I do see a use for the Uptime column and if there is a way to do that, I would appreciate it.

I did use your CSS above to make things nicer today as I do not use incognito as well, but it did come in handy for the screenshot in this post. (https://forums.unraid.net/topic/197223-plugin-folderview3/page/7/#findComment-1618192)

Thanks for the work on the plugin!

I see what I’ve done.

I missed this from my testing since I do have a container floating around outside a folder.

That shouldn’t appear if everything is in a folder and should only appear for advanced view.

Leave it with me!

IIRC, it was missed in the last update, before that it was good. Thanks for fixing it.

I should be able to release this fix tomorrow, I’ve got it sorted I’m just trying to refine a couple of column widths for users that do have containers not in folders and then make this all work with custom presets.

Thanks, after today's update the columns are fixed now. I am still using your CSS for incognito button.

Have a good day!

I just installed the new version of the plugin after removing the old plugin and removing all my existing folders. Why I didn't migrate is beyond me...

I'm getting a strange issue, when I create a folder, none of my docker containers appear in the Containers/VMs box. The same goes when I edit the folder, nothing shows up and the name of the folder is blank:

Any ideas?

Thanks for working on the plugin and supporting us also!

Which version of folderview did you come from?

I’ll have a look at this shortly but firstly a lot of these appearance issues, when coming from folderview2 or folderview plus, can be resolved with clearing cache/browser history.

If you can give that a go and report back that would be awesome.

FolderView2

I should have mentioned that the screenshot above was from an InPrivate window from Edge on macOS. I also tried from a reset Safari session and get the same results.

I also noticed the editor had stopped working, I was able to make a new folder with JSON but couldnt edit or make new ones from the ui, I cant be terribly helpful since I cant say how long it's been like that because I haven't had to change my folder setup since folderview 3 was first spun off.

However, I just rebooted my system to move to 7.3 RC2 and its working again, perhaps just a reboot was in order, or perhaps something was broken in RC1

I have not tested FolderView3 past Unraid 7.2.5 so I cant comment sorry.

When 7.3 moves to stable I will test it then but sounds like you're back in action.

I've shipped a small patch, if that doesn't fix this for you I'm going to need a lot more info. V2026.05.07 - if you could please update.

Finally got the chance to test this and yes that is now working (V2026.05.07) on Unraid 7.2.5.
