folder-colors

A small VS Code extension to set custom colors and badges for folders in the explorer. It helps me spot some important repositories when I have a long list of repos in the current folder.

Features

In the settings, add the folders you want to highlight:

    "folder-colors.settings": [
        {
            "name": "repo-4", "color": "terminal.ansiBrightRed", "badge": "🌈🌈"
        },
        {
            "name": "repo-2", "color": "terminal.ansiBrightGreen", "badge": "🚀🚀"
        }
    ]

Known limitations

When other extensions like the VS Code built-in git integration set a badge on a folder (e.g. to show uncommitted changes) it will override the custom badge.
