Change color of marked files/directories
Answered
Hi, is there a possibility to reduce the opacity (i want less opacity, or in other words: more color) in the “new” UI?
As you may see in the picture below, the template directory (marked as such) is barely distinguishable from a “normal” directory.
Thanks

Do you refer to adjusting File Colors ("Settings | Appearance & Behavior | File Colors") for different Scopes?
If no, please specify your project programming language and framework, so I will install the proper plugin and reproduce your configuration.
Hi, no. I don't mean scopes. To be honest, I never used them. You may mark/tag certain directories as in the picture below:
FYI: These marked directories do not appear in the “Scopes” tab, so I guess this is another mechanism:
The language is Python, therefore I use the Python plugin. Since the IDE comes with a lot pre-installed plugins, I don't really need anything else. But for the completenes here a screenshot of my short list:
Here is how to use file colors to make templates folder more noticeable according to personal preferences:
1. Go to “Settings | Appearance & behavior | Scopes” and add new scope “Templates”
2. Create a new scope “templates” and select a path as a pattern
3. Go to “Settings | File colors” and specify the bright color for “Templates” scope
Please try this workaround and let us know if it works for you. If yes, then I will file a ticket for usability issue: probably, the “Templates” scope should be created automatically. Otherwise, please specify what did not work for you,
Yes, this seems to work:
FYI: Instead of selecting every template directory one by one, you may use following pattern:
file:**//templates//*
