    Color in Project Browser?

    An acquaintance told me that it's possible to get colored view names in the project browser by using some kind of markup code in the view names themselves.

    This seems like a fairly implausible claim, if I even understood what he was saying correctly. Though I can imagine if true it could be due to a leftover development hook into some future feature, etc.

    I haven't been able to find any discussion about this online whatsoever. Is there any truth to this?

    I've never seen a PB with colored view names but I'd love to figure out how to do that just for ease of finding certain views. I don't think that it can be done from within OOTB Revit.

      I would put them to the test and have them show you exactly HOW this could be done. I am sure they will not be able to do it. You can make changes through the "Browser Organization" feature but there is no functionality to color code anything in the browser.

        Apparently the Ribbon can be color coded

        Here is another fun possibility to access and manipulate the Revit ribbon explored by Rudolf Honke of acadGraph CADstudio GmbH. He says: I've played around and found a possibility to modify the appearance of the AutoCAD and Revit ribbon bars. This is the Revit ribbon bar in its usual colour scheme: Now let's change the panel image and panel headers: What about using a gradient fill and changing the tab header font: The style is persistent, even if you...

          I´ll bet that the PB could get colored too if one would spend the time on the dll files... but :crazy: :crazy:
