Color Coding Source Files

This upcoming feature about color coding file scopes in IntelliJ IDEA Maia looks awfully lot like a plugin idea I and a colleague had once. We had the idea, that different “layers” or “modules” of the source of an application could be color coded differently inside IDEA. This way, one would have a direct visual indication, if one for instance were editing core domain source or maybe some web layer source.

Nice to see JetBrains are thinking some of the same thoughts, considering we never followed through on our own idea way back.
