A New Idea to improve the zotero user-interface!

Dear all,

I would like to suggest a simple feature that may help users so much in distinguishing some selected resources - in Zotero working area - among the rest of them, by highlighting them, the highlighting can be by using a color form a drop-down palette, or a star, or both (like selecting colored stars to highlight important messages in your Gmail mailbox)

An Example : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IKX00YWtL-CnQ9Y8EFnrefkNk5xUzJ8T/view?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance and best regards,

  • Dear bwiernik,

    Many thanks for your help, this (Colored tags) is a wonderful idea!
    But the main problem is that users do not know of the availability of this feature? because in the default state of Zotero, this opption is disabled, and you must go to Viw menu, then choose Layout, then select (Tag Selector) from the menu !!!
    View>Layout> Tag Selector
    In the term of Heuristic evaluation this is problem takes the highest degree in the problem sevirity scale !!
    But if this is not the case, and I did deselect it by mistake,then forget me words above!

    However, many thanks and best regards,
    Sayed
  • No, the tag selector is enabled by default.
  • Many thanks, dstillman, and sorry for interruptions !!
    Regards,
    Sayed
