[3.2.13] Better way to handle *packageName categories in Rowan vs. RowanHybrid projects; *category font change #992

Open LisaAlmarode opened 1 year ago

In a Rowan convention repository, packageName categories don't control packaging. However, there are a lot of existing categories in the base, and it might be a handy convention, to keep the use of the *packagename categories, so that someone browsing the class can see the package immediately.

However, it is a little annoying that every time you save a method in a * category, you get a warning dialog. We do need to keep this dialog but there should be some other way to handle this in the longer term.

What I'd like to see is the font of the category to be different if the category is for packaging... e.g., for RowanHybrid packageName categories, the category name in purple font to indicate packaging. You'd be able to see right away if it was doing packaging, and not need the warning dialog.
