[FEATURE] - Visual distinction between labelled & unlabelled bookmarks #614

Open mlntr opened 1 year ago

There should be an easy distinction between unlabelled bookmarks and labelled bookmarks

For example, by default, labelled bookmarks can be light blue, while unlabelled ones remain the current blue:

Hi @mlntr ,

I wouldn't use color/transparency to differentiate between regular and labeled bookmarks, as the user can customize the color of bookmarks. Instead, I think a good alternative would be using different icons.

Labeled bookmarks shows a 🏷️ in the Command Palette and adds a ✏️ in the Side Bar. That's something that I would like to merge and use the same identity on both locations. And based on your request, the same icon would be used in the gutter as well. I would vote for the 🏷️ icon.

What do you think?

mlntr commented 1 year ago

Sure, that also sounds like a good idea

I definitely think there should be a visual distinction between labelled/unlabelled by default, regardless of whether it's a different colour or icon

I agree a color difference wouldn't be great. I'd suggest a similar icon that is the same bookmark shape, just with the pencil inside it, or just a letter "a" on top of it.
