Colored folders!

If you have a big framework like mine

You may notice how hard it is to keep things organized, and it brings a headache (as someone responded with). What would REALLY help are colored folders. It would be awesome to be able to color a folder instance with a Color3 value (Just change the hue), so we can better organize large projects. Obviously, this would only appear in studio and would simply change the color of the folder icon in the Explorer window.

I recommend using modulescripts to store data like that.

This would be so beautiful.

Sometimes Modules get too crowded; sometimes just having some values and folders in ServerStorage is an easy to be organized.

At that scale, wouldn’t it be worth it to create a dedicated interface in the CoreGui with a plugin that organizes those settings into a clean, easy-to-reference/edit layout?

It has been 9 years… But we still don’t have this! It would help a lot all devs, because the organization of the game would improve! Roblox Studio really needs this!

i feel like this would be a fairly easy thing to add, why don’t we have this yet?

I got nothing to say other than: pretty please? :pleading_face:

Perhaps the ability to also give a name to said color would be great.

That would be really helpful, especially as our projects are getting bigger.

That would be pretty cool but please make it as a studio only NON REPLICATABLE PROPERTY WITH PLUGIN SECURITY.
So it will be used for development only and will not hurt network replication.

yeah coloured module scripts woo!!!

While we are at it can we make EVERYTHING colorable.

Like scripts, models, particle emitters and maybe even the whole studio!

custom Instance classes and a simple

class MyFolder extends Folder
    icon = "rbxassetid://..."
end

would suffice. nobody says you can’t inherit from specific instances, which is an argument towards custom classes I haven’t seen many talk about!


also oops didn’t mean to reply to you sorry lol; so to tie it into your message, you could do

class MyParticleEmitter extends ParticleEmitter
    ... custom stuff ...
end

Would love to see these, it would be also useful that you can sort the folders by colour too.

bump, roblox please add this feature. This would help SO MUCH with finding stuff in ReplicatedStorage on bigger games and improve the overall organization. 10 years later and this is still a relevant feature to add. It could be a property on the folder class, along with possibly having colors too on modulescripts, serverscripts and localscripts.

Bump, This feature is long overdue, While it may seem small it is definitely a necessary feature.

As someone who uses folders ALOT. this would genuinely help me with navigating to what I need. there’s times where at most I have about 15+ folders. in each service. This is a must have!
