A way to visually identify blocks or block types

[louderthan10]

Still really loving this field, but one of the issues that I (and any of our CMS users) often experience is that it's really difficult to find/discern between different blocks in the control panel (this is also a problem with Matrix). Especially when an entry is longer or has nested blocks.

Would love a simple way to visually separate between blocks so it's easier to find things and see that you are editing a block within a block. Some potential ideas:

• Allowing blocks to have titles or color identifiers • Making it compatible with something like Matrix Colors • Even just adding classes to each block/block type so we can apply custom CSS styles using Control Panel CSS

Cheers!

Doh, just saw that the plugin actually does generate classes for each block type, and used the Control Panel CSS plugin to add some visual separation.

I still think it would be awesome to have something built-in, but this solution definitely works for us for the time being.

Yeah I added in those class names for this exact reason. I've thought about a block type colouring setting, but I don't have any plans as of yet to implement. I figure the class names are a good enough start for those who really need it.

I'll keep this open for now though.

Closing this issue now due to Neo support being included in Matrix Colors 3.0.0.
