Color coded categories

It would be nice if the categories directly under the components button were color coded to the output color.

For eg. if you're building a filter and you see that you need a node for a blue input, it would be nice to quickly and visually see which category you need to click in the list.

Can I just add that I'm blown away with this thing? It's way more powerfull than I thought it would be.

I'm a 3d artist and on a daily basis I push photoshop to it's limits, but in my opinion 99% of (add on) PS filters are sub-par. This is a definite exception.

That's the feedback I always like to hear

I know this is from 2006 and I will not get an answer from buck but does this mean that you could change the color link of the component so the linking would be of that color, or is that each component category would have a color?

Vladimir Golovin One of our prototypes had color-coded categories (a little colored square near the text), but we scrapped them -- they looked too noisy. Currently, the separators in the list serve the same purpose -- the categories are grouped by their "color".

It looks too noisy ? Do you mean that having the links of the components in different colors would be like a tangled mess? with all green is also a mess I think.

I think that now that they are all green is perhaps more mess, but as this has been already this way in the past 5 years, I think is does not matter much, and now with groups would be more tidy and cleaner.

Sorry that I do not know what you mean
