Yes, they are easy to miss.  But: color is difficult to get right  
for all themes, and has a11y issues;  and we already use bold to  
indicate a mailbox that has new mail, and mailboxes can double up  
as folders, so that doesn't seem to work either.  Perhaps a  
different icon?  GTK_STOCK_GO_FORWARD would place an arrow  
pointing at the folder name--that should attract your attention!   
There doesn't seem to be a generic GTK_STOCK_ATTENTION icon ;-(
Best,
