I did a search and didn't find anything, but in my opinion, this is
something that could be added to QuickFolders (it may even already be in
there somewhere, but I don't use it, and didn't see a reference to it
anywhere).

You could likely accomplish this using some creative CSS styling, but
you need to be comfortable with that kind of thing. Here are a coupld of
links to get you started:

and

There is a lot you can do to customize the UI styling, but you have to
know what you are doing, and/or be willing to google and experiment.

I'd suggest contacting the Quickfolders Addon Author and making a
feature request - maybe after making a small donation... ;)

Works well with Quickfilters too...

Have fun! Customization is one of the things I've always loved about
Firefox and TB - although, since the loss of XUL Addons, customization
is harder, and some lower level things cannot be done anymore.
