Description Simon Tardell CLA 2008-06-16 04:37:32 EDT 
Build ID:  I20070621-1340

Steps To Reproduce:
Sometimes it is helpful to get a in-your-face visual indicator of where a file belongs. To this end, I propose rule-based color themes.

Example: If I open an editor under a build catalog, to inspect whether a generated source file was generated correctly, give it a red tinge to remind me not to edit it.

Other example: Give files in project a a yellow tone, to remind me that the files belong to project a, and not project b, which has files with similar names, that has a blue tone.

Sounds interesting. I assume you would apply this to fore- and background color?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
