File Colors
This helps you even more quickly than before understand which class you are looking at: JDK, a library, or your own app. The feature is available in Maia builds that you can get from EAP under Settings/File Colors.

    I think it would be useful to have some default schemas. Few people find this feature, but fewer people will spent time to setup their favorite colors.

    In any case, the color tabs and file is a great feature and can be very-very useful.
