      Hi Aush,
      Don’t understand your question. What do you mean by can’t find how to turn on double clicking?

      In order to show color icon on the sidebar, additional icon sets must be used. Someone reported how to do it on the internet. You should be able to find it through google.

    Man, I can’t believe they hid it like that. It was most perplexing and annoying not to be able to double click. Thanks for clearing that up/

    Thank you so much… this was so annoying!! And I don’t understand why they put it under universal access rather than under trackpad preferences… There are many things I dislike about Lion, but this one was by far the worst.

      You’re welcome. You are right that it is odd to place it under under universal access.
