I’d love to suggest a feature to add background colors to container headers in the components list. That way, when you’re working with a lot of containers, you can quickly tell them apart and navigate between containers. Even if it’s just a subtle shading or a simple highlight, it would really help with navigation when developing screens with a lot of containers and a lot of components, e.g. Apps with Tabs.

Voted.

Collapsable containers would also be nice.

That’s neat, I didn’t know or had forgotten. It would be yet nicer if this were part of Glide natively.

Yup! I just reinstalled this extension the other day because I needed the SAME THING. Only half way done with this list 😅
