Daz Studio Content Library: Colorize categories labels?

Second Technician Rimmer

When you deploy your libraries, it can be very annoying to try and retrieve a category (People, Environment, etc and their subcategories) in a quick manner.

All we can do so far is type (I don't call that fast) in the search engine or follow through the alphabetical order. Would there be a way to assign colors to those

categories so that one can jump directly to wherever they want to go, spotting the sections by color?

While  I don't know of any way to specify a color for a specific category, if your goal was to separate the categories into groups you could perhaps do something like create dummy categories that stand out visually.  For example crate a category AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, another BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB, another CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC etc. , or AAA---------------------------------- , BBB----------------------------   so as you are quick dragging the scroll bar down you will see the line that separates the A's from the Bs without having to read the first letter of every category at high speed.   And of course you could create 26 categories, one for each letter of the alphabet, then put all the matching content into each of those so you know you are only within the A's. 

Also note that when you are in a category, you can start typing the name of a subcategory and it will jump the cursor to that category name.  This won't always work though, for example if you have your hotkeys enabled it will instead do that, every so often somehow it gets enabled for me and when I type my viewport camera starts moving around.  This also won't work if you type a space, and of course if you are looking for a category that starts with the same long set of characters it's no longer easy or practical, so it's mostly useful just for the few few digits.
