A tool to set file and folder colours in Idea projects
Project description
Bobros
Making your life a bit more beautiful
bobros
is a tool for setting the background colour for files in PyCharm project
navigator.
It was mainly created for working with Django projects where you can have lots
of app folders, all of which may contain files with identical names like views
or models
, etc. It's much easier to work with them when you can easily
tell them apart and can easily see where one app ends and another one begins in
your project navigation panel. Colour-coding the app folders makes that task a
lot easier.
However, it turned out that doing that using the standard PyCharm mechanisms is not that easy. You have to navigate through several settings tabs and do a lot of clicking and typing. Well, there must be a better way!
Bobros takes a simple config and generates the correct xml files to make your project files colour-coded. It also supports different colour-themes.
Sample config file::
themes:
dark: # defines colours for a theme named "dark", names can be arbitrary
one: aabb00 # defines colour "one" to have the hex value of aabb00
two: bbaa00 # defines colour "two"
light: # defines colours for a theme named "light". Should contain the same colours as other themes
one: 99ff88
two: 9988ee
items: # defines colours for the items on disk
my_file.py: one
my_file_2.py: two
my_folder: one
Some special values:
-
~
The "home" folder: in Django projects the settings folder by default has the same name as the project folder. It's nice to have the settings folder the same colour in all your projects -
