How to change folder icons in Android Studio?

I know it's very insignificant, but how do you change the folder icons from the usual blue or orange outline shapes to the solid icons like the way Ben has in the video?

I think they just changed the folder icon in the new version of Android Studio. Even though it isn't officially released yet (it's currently in beta), we try to record on the latest versions of the tools. This way, when Android Studio 3.0 is finally stable, we'll be looking good and won't need to rerecord anything.

Ah ok I see. Yeah I brought this up because I recently updated IntelliJ Idea and they had the icons changed and I figured they would do the same with Android Studio. Those old icons are hideous! lol
