Project Panel: apply color to files and folders

[mischlrebl]

Description of the Issue

In my project structure at the appropriate Workspace panel I do have the requirement to mark some of the files, folders or projects - e.g. to do there something later, watch them, follow up, …
At the moment there is no possibility to set a background color or change the icon of an entry.

Description of the Feature Request

Make it possible to set (change), show and load (at startup) an appropriate user definition (bg color, icon, ...)
Example:

Possible Way of Realization

Like on tabs, provide a context menu entry to apply a color #12098
Important: the color on the project should be persisted (in the project-xml-structure) while the color on a tab got lost when closing it.

It is much like the already existing feature to apply a color on the document list panel #12155 but:

1. on the project panel
2. persisted
3. therefore can differ from the color on the tab and in the document list

History

Was looking for a workaround first in the community section: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25397/project-files-mark-them

Thanks for anything in advance

please label it as 'feature' - seems not possible by my own, thx

if only there was a way to set the color when loading the workspace (which was saved manually in the xml), that would be very helpful!

thanks in advance
