Bug Description

Bonjour,
Dans la fenêtre de gestion des calques, l'empilement des calques/sous-calques peut parfois être surchargée.

La possibilité de pouvoir "décorer" les noms des calques/sous-calques" en fonction de "convenances personnelles" pourrait être un pus.

Je m'explique :
Je crée une série de calques "primaires".
Chaque calque ainsi créé se voit complété par une série de sous-calques.
On retrouve (une partie de) les mêmes sous-calques dans chacun des claques primaires. Ces sous-calques vont contenir, par exemple, l'un des cotations, l'autre des données de texte, un troisième un remplissage (hachure, ...), etc.

Pouvoir, par exemple donner une couleur au nom du calque/sous-calque en fonction de son contenu permettrait de repérer plus facilement chaque "catégorie" de calque/sous-calque dans l'arbre des calques.
Éventuellement, avoir la possibilité de créer/modifier/appliquer une icône au nom du calque pour en "indiquer" la "catégorie" personnelle en lieu et place/avec la mise en forme du titre du calque pourrait peut-être s'envisager également.

Merci.

From Google translate:

Hello
In the window management layers, stacking layers / sub-layers can sometimes be overridden.

The ability to "decorate" the names of layers / sub-layers "based on" personal reasons "could be a powerful tool.

Let me explain:
I created a series of layers "primary".
Each layer thus created is seen supplemented by a series of sub-layers.
We find (some of) the same sub-layers in each primary slaps. These sub-layers will contain, for example, one of the quotes, other text data, a third filling (hatching, ...), etc..

Power, for example, give a color in the name of the layer / sublayer as a function of its content would more easily identify each "category" layer / sub-layer in the tree layers.
Eventually, having the ability to create / modify / apply an icon to the layer name to "identify" the "category" personal place / with the formatting of the title of the layer could perhaps also be envisaged.

Thank you.

I think the proposal is to allow the user to add a custom colour or icon to groups of layers in the "Layers" dialog.

Hello,
I will do my best to explane what I suggest. Sorry for my bad english.

I create several layers.
In eache layer, I create sub-layers whitch can be the sames in each layer.

I think it will be good to add color to the name of the layers (sub-layers) or to add a icon in stead of the icon added by default before eache layer/sub-layer.

So, we can to quickly recognize the same sub-layers contained in each layer without having to read each name of all the layers/sub-layers.

I hope my explanations are comprehensible.

A+
