Vscode: Specific color for specific folder base on folder name

[MRezaSafari]

it would be so good if we able to change a color ( icon either ) of a specific folder base on the folder name. ( I think it can be a extension too )
something like :

because when we have too much folders and file we easily get lost in those folders and we should put some times to find what we want. of course you might say there is a search but sometimes you cannot remember the name of the file or folder and you scroll through the explorer to find it.

It would be nice to have color picker too.

[MRezaSafari]

is it possible to make this as an extension ?
I mean it there any API to manage the coloring boxes ?

I think that milestone is far far away :D

[isidorn]

@Cloze currently it is not possible to do this using the extension API

[MRezaSafari]

@isidorn how about just adding the text? I mean having like 10 colors and naming them like "Black" "White" "Green etc. and not using those color boxes

[MRezaSafari]

@isidorn hah ?

[JensPliester]

Would be happy to see that feature, too. This would greatly help keeping overview in explorer tree

[hosseinse1919]

add css to "C:\Users\???\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\workbench.desktop.main.css"

can change color of folders like this ... but you may need to Reinstall VSCode cuz after that it will show you error

.monaco-list-rows > [aria-setsize="17"][aria-expanded] .monaco-icon-label-container {
letter-spacing :1px;
text-transform:uppercase;
padding-left:24px;
color: #ffcc00;
}
