Actually I want to create overlayIcons on my folders/files in Windows platform like Green check mark that are similar to dropboxx or google drive. Currently, We are using Electron.js in my project. Can we use Electron.js for creating overlLay icons? If not, what is the** technology** to be used to overlay Icons on Folders on Files/folders? please refer me the path or solution to this problem.

I tried with the electron js and node js to create overlay icons, but I didnot get any solution from them. I am expecting a solution or path for creating overlay icons on folders. i.e technology behind the overlay icons in Windows

You can try in this way also ones https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7484/How-to-overlay-an-icon-over-existing-shell-objects In this Website he explained step by step I think it may help you

Otherwise If you can using Electron.js Then you can install this package [electron-overlay-window] and you can Modify the your Js code and C# code according to this
