COLOR CODED DRIVES IN TREE LIST
I use several drives with many folders in each. I would like to color code the labels of the drives so I can easily tell when I come to the next drive while scrolling down the tree. Can this be done? Thanks for your assistance. I really appreciate the XYplorer system and have been a use since ver. 8.

Re: COLOR CODED DRIVES IN TREE LIST
This can be done in various ways, here are a couple of the easiest, If you want only the drive colored, select it in the tree and:
Favorites | Set Highlight Color...
or if you want the drive and all its items colored
Favorites | Set Box Color...

Or try this:
First item in the color filter. Has to be at the top of the list. The "T" means for the tree only.
Looks for "drive" attribute and colors them green/black.

Whoops! Actually it looks for NOT a folder in the tree and then colors it.

Yes color filters are one of the other various ways I previously alluded to but didn't bother mentioning because I didn't think it was easier than my previous suggestion, but if you wanted to go that route instead you could use a pattern such as this
